Project Matthew is thrilled to announce that our community bread bakery in Ndejje is scheduled to open for business later this month. We recently finished training 20 single mothers in professional baking and provided hands-on training in preparations, measurements, dough mixing, forming and oven management.
With the help of our generous donors, including our friends at Asbury United Methodist Church in Madison, Wisconsin, we purchased a locally-made bread oven and delivered it to the project on June 2nd. A semi-temporary shelter is currently being built around the two-tiered oven to protect it from direct sun and rain.
This income-generation project is expected to help 88 beneficiaries including 20 single mothers and their dependents. The project’s participants will be baking bread and donuts which will be sold to the community. As a part of our Garden to Plate Program, the income generated from this project will allow these single mothers to earn a fair wage and provide for their families. Project Matthew's Garden to Plate Program offers various opportunities to generate income through the processing, packaging and selling of food products.
Many thanks to each of our donors who have planted seeds of hope for this community. Thank you for helping us break the cycle of hunger and malnutrition in Uganda by nourishing, equipping and empowering vulnerable communities.
To God be all the glory!
