CONTEXT

IECD was created in 1988 and is driven by the desire to show solidarity with people in need. IECD has progressively established itself in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia, including Vietnam since 2010. Education and vocational training are at the core of IECD teams’ actions, convinced that these are the keys to human development. Indeed, their mission is to promote development by strengthening peoples’ abilities and those of local partners.

La Boulangerie Française HCMC (aka The French Bakery), a social enterprise by IECD, aims to train vulnerable young people to become highly skilled bakers and responsible adults, socially well integrated and independent. The high-quality bakery products made during their intensive training are sold to customers and the revenue generated contribute directly to financing the school’s operations, with the objective to become self-sustainable.
