A powerful story of resilience and inspiration, Cashmere Nicole founded Beauty Bakerie in 2011 with the mission to be sweet and sweeten the lives of others.

The first home located in Kasese, Uganda supports the needs of 24 children and has done so for the past 2 years. The brand recently added identified another opportunity to have an impact on the lives of 200 children in a small village in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
