With the high unemployment rate in South Africa, the Bake-for-Profit project is meeting one of the deepest needs in communities throughout the country: the right to earn a living. The Bake-for-Profit course was developed by Luiza Rigutto in 1996 in Cape Town where the first training course took place.

 

All recipes taught have proven over the years to equip the entrepreneur with marketable and affordable products to sell in their respective communities.

 

Learn to Earn offered this training in Khayelitsha and Hermanus until the end of 2007 and the course was sponsored by Premier Foods under the Snowflake brand.

 

Learn to Earn has taken on the Bake-for-Profit programme and will be offering baking training on a national scale in 2009. Roché van Wyk and Ian Visser (CEO of Premier Foods), (pictured) signed the Memorandum of Understanding on 3 September 2008.
