THE IFAKARA BAKERY PROJECT
Eugene and Margaret Schellenberg visited Ifakara, 250 miles away from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania in 1998. They were persuaded that a bakery would ensure there was no shortage of food in this small village, even when there was a poor harvest. Eugene used his business skills to create a business plan and between him and his wife raised the necessary £30,000 to purchase and install the equipment to start the bakery. Their fascinating talk follows the progress of this venture and its success.
