🍞 Invest in Baking a Brighter Future in Kakuma
The Opportunity
Honore’ Ventures, a thriving bakery school in Kakuma, currently produces 250 loaves of bread per week—feeding students and employing 15 refugee bakers—with massive growth potential (WBN News).
Why It Matters
Kakuma and neighboring Kalobeyei settlements host over 270,000 people facing acute food insecurity (refugee-economies.org). WFP food rations have been slashed: refugees now receive roughly 40–45% of nutritional needs, often around 3 kg of rice, limited pulses, and cooking oil per month (wfp.org). The result? Malnutrition, growing unrest, violence, and curfews.
A Sustainable Plan to Reduce Hunger
With an upgraded bakery kitchen, we can scale weekly production from 250 loaves to 2,000 loaves—that’s nearly a 10× increase, offering more nutritious bread, reliable income for refugees, and social stability.
Community & Economic Impact:
- Combat severe hunger: each loaf translates into meals for families facing dire shortages.
- Empower refugees: baking and business skills open pathways to entrepreneurship.
- Promote peace: economic opportunity addresses root causes of violence and unrest.

The Bigger Picture
Kenya has taken huge steps for refugee stability, implementing the Sharika Plan to transform these “temporary” camps into municipalities. The transition is difficult, losing funding from USAID, and the food supply has been reduced.
This venture aligns with the Kakuma Kalobeyei Challenge Fund’s goals: refugee-led, privately funded solutions creating jobs and services in a transitioning municipality (WBN News). With entrepreneurial investment, you’re not just giving aid—you’re building a self‑sustaining ecosystem. A $1M one-time scale-out could serve 200,000 people weekly, sustainably! (WBN News).
Why Invest Now?
- Urgency is critical: rations are already dangerously low—cuts forced food protests and hospitalizations from malnutrition (The Guardian).
- Proven success: current operations already empower 15 bakers and feed local students.
- Powerful ROI: this is impact investing at scale—social, economic, and sustainable.
