The Project

The South African Whole Grain Bread Project (SAWGBP) is dedicated to improving the physical health and social well-being of the poor, unemployed and HIV/AIDS infected citizens of South Africa by establishing community-run containerized micro bakeries which produce fresh, high quality, whole grain breads.

The bakeries produce loaves of bread using a trademarked grain and flour mix. Our grain and flour mix is milled from South African wheat, whole grains, seeds and blended with vitamins and folic acid. Increasing the nutritional value of the bread helps satisfy the dietary needs of malnourished HIV/AIDS positive individuals, and represents a viable alternative to the minimally nutritious, government-style bread that is currently available. South Africans living with HIV/AIDS, in particular, need to improve their daily basic nutrition in order to allow newly acquired retroviral drugs to work effectively.
