Outdoor Community Oven: Support Local Project with Freshly Baked Goods

In October 2024, we hosted a community bread bake fundraiser at our outdoor clay oven to support Toilet Twinning, a charity that helps provide clean water, basic toilets, and hygiene education to communities in need.

Visit our loo shed to see the certificate proudly displayed. Join us for future events and help support important global initiatives!
