Ladies determining their own destiny - with sustainable micro-enterprise - using the Micro-Sun-Bakery as the vehicle to bake the bread and lead them out of poverty!  EnCorps and your NGO or FBO cooperate in applying for grants to fund the micro-sun-bakeries or solar-oven assembly plants in third-world countries.  Your organization selects the deserving poor to be trained. EnCorps can also provide training to your personnel or to the owners/operators. Some proceeds from the profits of the businesses go back into a self-propagation fund, while other proceeds go back into the local community. This effective strategy eliminates poverty by breaking the cycle of relief and dependence. Micro-business owners and their employees  gain hope and dignity by providing for their own families, supporting their communities and contributing to the propagation of more micro-enterprise opportunities for others. Baking & decorating cakes and pastries is a large part of the demand in our Micro-Sun-Bakeries around the world! Your gift to EnCorps International is an investment that will have a multiplying effect: ending the poverty cycle, fighting deforestation and desertification, cleaning up our air, empowering women, improving the health and well-being of women and children, all while providing a very needed staple - bread! To alleviate poverty and enhance the quality of life for the poor. To establish self-propagating, self-sustaining micro-enterprise businesses which feed people while enabling many to earn a decent living. To teach/model basic work ethics and business skills, empowering the hard working poor to raise their standard of living through self-sustaining micro-enterprise while learning principals of good stewardship relative to their lives, family, business, environment, health & natural resources. Old wood/charcoal burning oven has consumed hundreds of trees in its lifetime!  Soon to be replaced with a solar micro-sun-bakery! To promote and utilize the ultimate renewable resource - sunshine, to cost-effectively provide a needed food staple while combating the destructive forces of deforestation, and working to decrease desertification. If you look closely at the picture above, you will notice large areas on the mountains in the distance which are becoming deforested.  And the "culprit" is in the foreground - the old wood-burning oven. To promote the use & benefits of renewable natural resources. To enhance the health of women and children by fighting the leading cause of lung and eye disease to women and children in third-world countries caused by smoke from cooking fires and ovens. Hauling in firewood the old-fashioned way! Just enough firewood for a day or two. A couple of these trips and another tree bites the dust! To reduce the ever-increasing, time-consumptive and dangerous task for women and children of finding and collecting wood - during which times women and girls are frequently abused and raped.
