Why

Breaking

Bread?

The concept of Breaking Bread was inspired by your voices, highlighting the vital need for rest and wellness in the lives of young changemakers. In the relentless pursuit of creating positive change, it's easy to forget that those driving the movement are also part of the community they're striving to uplift. By providing a space for literal and emotional nourishment, we invite young changemakers to cultivate their wellbeing, share their knowledge and experiences, and support one another in sustaining their vital work
