The Bread of Life Bakery Sponsorship

The bakery was started in 2007 by a Kids Alive missionary on the main campus at Dar El Awlad. The main aims of the bakery are:

• To provide 220 loaves of free bread each week to other Christian organizations working with children at risk;

• To provide training and work experience opportunities to some of the older children in Kids Alive’s programs in Lebanon;

• To provide part-time employment for several visually impaired young people;

• To generate income for vocational training programs through the sale of bread and pastries in the local community.

Two visually-impaired young ladies and an older boy from Dar El Awlad work in the bakery under the supervision of a Kids Alive missionary. The program currently operates four days a week. The bakery develops a range of work experience and training opportunities, while sale of bread and other produce generates income which can be used for vocational training programs at Dar El Awlad.
