| "BAKE FOR PROFIT" PHUMELELA INDABA DAY
28 AUGUST 2002 Radio as a tool for Sustainable Development With the high unemployment rate in South Africa, the Bake for Profit project is meeting one of the deepest needs in communities throughout the country: the right to earn a living. The Bake for Profit course was developed by Luiza Rigutto 1996 in Cape Town where the first training course took place. A variety of basic baking skills are taught during the 12 week course. All recipes taught have proven over the years to equip the entrepreneur with marketable and affordable products to sell in their respective communities.

| Success Story My name is Hlengiwe Memela and the name of my business is Hlengiwe Community Bakery. Since doing the course last year my life has changed and I am now able to feed my four kids and educate them. Before I did the course I was at home with my family, now I have bought my own 4-room house, with the money I have earned by baking and selling. I have been able to buy myself a second hand stove, a fridge and a cupboard in which to keep my ingredients. I have a bank account where I deposit R900 every week, and I pay R400 a month for my house loan. Recordings done on the Phumelela Indaba Day will be aired on Radio Khwezi, starting Friday 6th September at 11h30 on the programme EZOMAME (Women's desk). Stay tuned to 90.5 and 107.7 FM. |
