SYB AND VILLAGE 127

Empower Others via Bakery

SYB and Village 127 empower underprivileged youth in China through free training in French bakery and employment opportunities.

Village 127 is launching a special catering service with Shanghai Young Bakers (SYB). Under the technical guidance of SYB, all the products in this service will be baked by SYB graduates working at Village 127 using fine, imported ingredients and professional French bakery techniques. Proceeds from this catering service will directly support SYB for its charity programme.

Shanghai Young Bakers (SYB) is a charity program providing free training in French bakery to marginalised Chinese youth aged 17 to 23, enabling them to find qualified jobs and lead independent lives after graduation. SYB empowers disadvantaged young adults who had to drop out of school because of their family situation (parents’ death, sickness, disability or imprisonment) and are excluded from stable employment.
