DONATION OPPORTUNITIES

Donations to Bricks to Bread help a mother provide for her family. In Central America, opportunities for women to provide income for their families are limited, especially in rural communities. The global expansion of big agricultural businesses and farming is forcing people out of their jobs, and what jobs do exist are often given first to men. A brick oven brings access to fresh baked goods to rural communities and gives families the sustainable income they need to feed, clothe, house, and educate their children. The oven becomes a focal point in the community, giving families a place to gather for homemade food, celebrations, conversation, and fellowship.

Bricks to Bread donations also support youth volunteers who wish to experience the cultural immersion of an oven project but may lack financial resources to do so.

• $50  Helps cover the cost of flour and other baking ingredients for one day of baking.
