In Ecuador, six resilient grandmothers are rewriting their futures-one roll of bread at a time. Aged 40-76, they are the sole providers for large families, often raising grandchildren alone. Through D'ellas CREADORAS, they've become trained bakers, gaining confidence and income. Their bread sells out weekly, but with only one small oven, they can't keep up. Your gift helps expand the kitchen and give more grandmothers the chance to rise with dignity. It's never too late to change a life.
In Ecuador, six grandmothers aged 40-76 are the sole providers for large, multigenerational families. Most are illiterate, some live with disabilities, and all survive on less than 30 cents a day. With no pensions, formal jobs, or safety nets, they face daily insecurity. This bakery program is their only path to income and stability. Without it, their families remain trapped in poverty-and these women risk losing their last chance to change their future.
This project will purchase an industrial oven and essential supplies to triple bread production, expand sales, and open the program to more grandmothers. Each woman supported is the economic pillar of her family. The pilot has proven the model works-now it must grow. With your help, she can earn income, rebuild dignity, and break the cycle of poverty. Your gift creates lasting opportunity for those with nowhere else to turn-and helps a grandmother rise when it matters most.
By expanding production and strengthening the bakery, this project will offer sustainable income, skills, and dignity to grandmothers raising families in deep poverty. It opens a path out of generational hardship for up to 30 women in the next year, and hundreds more beyond. As each grandmother rises, so do her family and grandchildren. Your support sparks a ripple effect-changing lives, restoring hope, and building a future rooted in dignity for generations to come.
