owned and operated by the women’s bakery

Kigali, rwanda

As our first official bakery in Rwanda, the Kigali bakery is our Flagship location. Located in the Remera district of the capitol city, this bakery showcases our women-centric bakery model with a trendy café attached. The café is open seven days a week, serving The Women’s Bakery goods, coffee, tea, and delectable snacks. The New York Times boasts it as one of the top 5 places to visit in Kigali.

Ruyenzi, rwanda

Located 45 minutes outside of the capitol, The Women’s Bakery Ruyenzi location, formerly Kagina, is home to our smallest—but mightiest—baking team. Six women currently work six days a week to provide bread orders to the local community and nearby schools.

 

Gicumbi, Rwanda

Open in 2018, the Gicumbi bakery is set above the picturesque rolling hills of the northern province. This area is also home to the Gihembe Refugee Camp, Rwanda’s oldest refugee camp and home to a few TWB bakers. This bakery is available for school, business, and catering orders, and it houses a small café.

 

franchised by The WOmen’s Bakery

The Women’s Bakery is piloting a franchise model as part of our growth strategy. Franchisees are financially responsible for operational expenses, while TWB provides accredited training and ongoing oversight for bakery success.

Namayemba, Uganda

Launched in 2018, the AsOne Ministries Women’s Bakery is the first TWB franchise bakery. Employing eight women and one man, the AsOne Women’s Bakery is located in a rural area of Uganda. We are excited to watch this franchise location grow!
