South African Whole Grain Project

“Peace goes into the making of a poem as flour goes into the making of bread” – Pablo Neruda

In establishing the South African Whole Grain Bread Project, Dan Leader visited McCord Hospital many times. McCord has embarked on a campaign to create the most modern care facility in all of Africa for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. We encourage you to donate generously to this fine institution.

The busy McCord Hospital / School of Nursing / Sinikithemba complex is situated in Durban, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Through the interlinked programmes that are offered, comprehensive care and support is available, with a special focus on HIV/AIDS, and a variety of training.

Supporting Community Projects with Whole Grain Bread Bakeries

The South African Whole Grain Bread Project aims to establish community-based microbakeries to produce fresh, high quality, whole grain bread to improve the nutrition of health-compromised and malnourished adults and children. The bread will help satisfy the dietary needs of malnourished HIV/AIDS positive individuals who need to improve their health in order to allow retroviral drugs to work effectively. In addition to the health objectives, the baking initiative has been designed as a small business/ social development project that will encourage income generation opportunities for South Africans living with HIV/AIDS.

The project will produce a trademarked grain and flour mix which will be milled from South African wheat, whole grains and seeds, and then blended with vitamins and folic acid. For more information, be sure to visit the South African Whole Grain Bread Project, at SAWGBP.ORG
