One group was trained in baking skills and the areas covered include: bread making, Swiss rolls, all cakes
and decoration, queen cakes, muffins, Biscuits, Samosas and scrisps. The groups started selling ready
breads starting the 2 nd day of training and this has attracted more people and as the days goes by more
and more people ask for more bread, snacks and cakes. The area councilor was also very impressed by
the project the 1 st of its kind in the area and assisted the group to repair the drainage system and
putting a temporary bridge to the bakery for the women.
Plans are underway to launch the bakery officially in the beginning of the next quarter where
stakeholders, local leaders and relevant government officials will be invited. Three more groups will get
the training starting next quarter; the trainings could not be done at once because the same institution
engaged will be doing the same training for 10 days for each group in their respective areas.
