Business owner reveals to Briefly News what inspires them to help the unemployed
Wezi Chirwa told Briefly News that the business's name is Sweet Home Bakery, which has been operating since 2020.
"We help the unemployed by equipping them with skills and allowing them to use us as stepping stones to more excellent opportunities, be it through a new career, or being inspired to also lend a hand in fighting unemployment. A vast majority of the redistributors are from the township. And having experience with life in the township. Knowing that the unemployment rate was relatively high then and still is to date is quite a different feeling.
"We then took the initiative to go out and lend a hand. Over the years of operating, we have had over 40 people come in as distributors. Among other roles, some have been taught baking skills among other skills. Some have left to further their studies, and others acquired permanent jobs from some of our customers also lending a hand.
"The team is hugely grateful for the continuous support as we can build slowly to reach more people who may need help," he said.
