Mr. Mwiba shows the double drum oven Mr. Mwiba shows us the double drum oven. It is heated by firewood or charcoal, fed into the oven from the back, outside of the bakery. This reduces (almost eliminates) smoke in the bakery.

Adam at the Tiyezye Bakery Here I am outside the finished bakery. The women were inside baking. Tiyezye translates to "we will try", which captures the attitude of the women in this group.
