Baking industry teams up to harness the power of bread for The Women's Bakery
BEMA's one-hour virtual fundraising event supports and uplifts social enterprise that improves the lives of women and addresses food insecurity in East Africa.
Operating under The Women’s Bakery (TWB) mantra, “Together, we rise,” BEMA (Bakery Equipment Manufacturers & Allieds), a company in the baking and food equipment industry that connects, educates and provides resources for members of the baking industry, will host a one-hour virtual fundraising event to raise money and awareness for The Women’s Bakery (TWB) on Thursday, June 25. The event is in tandem with BEMA’s Virtual Convention 2020 and “Turikumwe” (We Are Together) campaign, moved online due to COVID-19 safety measures.
The Women’s Bakery is a social enterprise that empowers women and builds nutrition-centric bakeries in East Africa. Founded in 2014, the heart of TWB’s mission is to create access to social and economic opportunities for women and nutritious, affordable bread to the East African communities.
