“Greetings, I’m Ahinkaniye Rorikasi, a 43-year-old woman who escaped the Mai-Mai in Congo with my eight children. Life in the Chaka Refugee Camp has been tough, but I’ve learned baking skills. All I ask is to educate my children and with a small investment in ingredients and equipment, I can turn this skill Into a small bakery business. Your support in acquiring the initial resources would not only change my life but also contribute positively to the community’s access to baked goods. Thank you for considering my journey.
 
For those who are in need of the training, you can support them monthly or quarterly for the period of 6 month. 
 
The cost to run entire both programs is $2500. This covers 4 teachers' salary, a security guard, materials needed for 6 months for both programs, and an experienced skilled business person who offers guidance and mentorship to the mothers while in the program on how to run their own business. This mentor supports them another 6 month after their graduation to make sure they are making good decisions in their business or new job. This program has changed the lives of many widows and young girls making them independent and able to provide for their children.
