The Women's Bakery

The Women's Bakery An education-centric social enterprise committed to empowering women to build, manage & sustain their own nutritional bakeries. That’s conscious capitalism.

The Women’s Bakery (TWB) is a social enterprise that educates women and builds bakeries in East Africa. Our model is comprehensive training and business curation program. Through vocational business education, TWB equips women with the skills necessary to launch and profitably manage bakeries. TWB’s specially tailored training model includes 150+ hours of theoretical and practical education. Women

learn to source local, nutritious ingredients and to produce and sell nutritious, affordable breads in their communities - meeting local demand with local supply. Trainings are delivered in the local language and fluent staff provide ongoing support. Bakery infrastructure is built during training, so graduates have immediate employment opportunities post-training. TWB Bakery Operations Managers (BOMs) then provide full time operational support for six-12 months following bakery launch. The majority of TWB breads are high in protein. One piece of bread has, on average, 5 grams of protein – that's 8% of a woman’s daily need and 21% of a 40 pound child’s. Collectively, TWB’s six bakeries sell 3,000+ breads weekly – that’s 15,000 grams of added protein to communities’ diets a week. Through training and employment opportunities, TWB offers women access—access to business education and employment. From this, social and economic empowerment are born. Our vision is to advance women's autonomy, improve community nutrition, and generate socio-economic opportunity for an entire household. Today, we're working with women in Rwanda and Tanzania.
