The bakery makes delicious and nutritious bread without any additives or chemicals.    <\/p>\n<p>The development and communications manager at The Women\u2019s Bakery, Umutoniwase Fran\u00e7oise said that the enterprise has branches in Gicumbi and Kamonyi (Ruyenzi) districts helping women to run bakeries and produce nutritious bread in their own communities. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe empower women, prioritizing those who most need the support.  For instance, we choose women who don\u2019t have any knowledge of how to design projects or those who never had a chance to be employed. In Gicumbi, we even included women from the refugee camp,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n<p>After the training, the women bakers are able to grow financially, to put their children through school, to contribute to reducing malnutrition, just with one bread at a time. As Umutoniwase said, the women\u2019s bakery is committed to using locally sourced ingredients made in Rwanda for all the bread produced. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach of our products is made with locally available ingredients like flour, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. We also make our varied types of bread, rich in nutrients without any additives, so it expires after three or four days. Our breads contain the proteins that our bodies need. <\/p>\n<p>Umutoniwase also noted that the bakery plans to expand and establish branches across the country, so as to contribute to the access of gainful employment for women and also contribute to the sustainable growth of Rwanda\u2019s economy. She therefore urged Rwandans to support these women, who are baking a unique collection of delicious, nutritious and affordable breads for their communities. <\/p>\n<p>The Women\u2019s Bakery was established in 2015, its flagship is in Remera and it works with Vuba Vuba Rwanda, to ensure that clients can easily order for the bread of their choice and have it delivered in the comfort of their homes or workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>Empowering women, with one piece of bread at a time!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38191 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/uru_ruganda_ruteza_imbere_umugore_rugaharanira_ko_nawe_agira_aho_agera_ahigejeje.jpg\" alt=\"100% of the employees are women who are equipped with bread-making and nutrition improvement related skills after a six-month training.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38192 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/the_women_s_1829-23bcb.jpg\" alt=\"The Women\u2019s Bakery supports women above 25 years of age, who never had a chance to get employed.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38190 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/bakora_imigati_yo_mu_bwoko_butandukanye.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38193 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/uru_ruganda_b5ea-38e1e.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38194 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/umutoniwase_04e6-16836.jpg\" alt=\"The development and communications manager at The Women\u2019s Bakery, Umutoniwase Fran\u00e7oise said that the enterprise has branches in Gicumbi and Kamonyi (Ruyenzi) districts helping women to run bakeries and produce nutritious bread in their own communities. \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{The Women\u2019s Bakery is a medium-sized social enterprise that educates, empowers &#038; employs women \u2013 to bake varied types of bread blended with honey, banana, carrots, pumpkin, and beet roots, among others.  100% of the employees are women who are equipped with bread-making and nutrition improvement related skills after a six-month training.}  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-43207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43207"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=43207"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=43207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
