I have never met a rainier place than Bukoba, Tanzania. 

Markey is as strong as an ox, endlessly brave and should never again be given hallucinatory medication, especially when strapped down in an airplane.

There’s just something about certificates. We take pictures with them, frame them, decorate them with gold and silver and sometimes sparkles, and herald them as proof of our accomplishments.

Five women walked out of the Buwea bakery on Friday morning proudly carrying their products for sale, and within just one hour and inside of a quarter mile radius, they were completely sold out!

This work is hard. It demands strength and patience and openness from me every single day. It makes me question what I have grown up with, what I believe, and what I assume. 

Six weeks ago, Doreen Gahigi chose to leave everything that was familiar to her in order to join TWB in Bukoba, Tanzania as an intern. 

At long last, after weeks of testing and tasting, we have settled on our final Banana Bread recipes! 

Fifty-six years old with nine children, Yulita works hard to provide for her family. 

TWB doesn't just train women to bake bread and keep track of cost of goods and inventory. 

Happyness’ nature is quite literally the definition of her name. She walks in every morning bursting with smiles and keeps right on all day long. 

From the start, Grace struck me. A 47-year old mother of 8, Grace easily looks years younger, no doubt in part to her jubilant spirit. 

Our third full week of TWB training here in Bukoba, Tanzania was quite a full one. The week started out, quite literally, with a dance party! 

On February 17, TWB launched its official bakery training in Bukoba, Tanzania with BUWEA (Bukoba Women’s Empowerment Association), a local women’s co-op with over 450 members throughout the region.
