Bake for Life

Sonneveld has been supporting Bake for Life for a number of years now. Cees Hack, General Director and Pim van der Breggen, Sales Manager Netherlands, have been committed to work for the Bake for Life bakeries in Uganda for quite some time now. They can support the local bakery managers with their knowledge of the baking process. Cees and Pim have met children who literally lost everything during their trips, but who now once again have a future thanks to Bake for Life.

Bake for Life gives young disabled people in third world countries a real opportunity in life. They do this through building bakeries where these disabled people are trained to become bakers. Learning these traditional skills gives these people the opportunity to earn an honest living, they earn a salary and can take responsibility for their own livelihoods. All the Bake for Life bakeries are run by local organisations. The Bake for Life people use their bakery skills to successfully set up a bakery in the third world.

A project team consisting of Marleen Pater, Christiena de Vries and Cees Hack are currently working on the Bake for Life Bakery College at the bakery in Tororo, Uganda.
