Registered Charity 1114531 We went on holiday to Ifakara in 1998 when we were asked for help to build the first bakery in a small town some 250 miles (400 km) SW of Dar es Salaam. The main reason was to ensure food all the year round even when they had a poor harvest. |
We made a business plan which showed that this could be a viable proposition but there was absolutely no money at all and we had to raise £30,000. This covered the cost of all the machinery and equipment as well as transport, Customs clearing and installation. The goods were shipped in 2001. |

As the bakery was self-funding and profitable we created the "Free Bread Funds" as there were many people who could not afford the 17pence on a regular basis. 60 loaves of bread reach the St. Francis District Hospital as it is not their duty to feed its patients who rely entirely on the food being brought by relatives. "Free Bread" now also daily reaches the children of the Bethlehem Centre, the leprosy people in the Nazareti Centre, the local Orphanage and the Idete Kindergarten. To maintain the Free Bread Funds we have to raise £18,000 this year. |
