Adnan
Location Undisclosed, Iraq Food | Bakery

Adnan has been baking flatbread for 12 years, stretching out the dough on a special pillow used for throwing the thin bread on the inside wall of the hot, cave-like stone oven. The simple, delicious bread is purchased by families every day, carrying away piles of 10-12 freshly baked goods.

Adnan has been supporting his family, his wife and one child, from this business, but the bakery was recently destroyed and burned down.

To be able to quickly return to his business, Adnan took a loan from Relief International-Iraq in the amount of $3,000 USD to help him renovate the flourishing bakery.
