As a nonprofit and charitable organization, we partner with local African charities and NGOs to provide clean water, healthcare, food, education, orphan care, and more. Every project we support helps African children and families build a healthier, more self-sufficient future.
We’ve worked with partners to provide clean water across Africa for many years. Whether it’s for a school, clinic, or farm, these life-changing water projects improve health, reduce hardship, and offer hope for a better future. Thanks to our generous supporters, our work continues in 2025 and beyond.
We currently work with local organizations in these African countries: Cameroon, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Our programs span across Africa through trusted partnerships with locally based charities and community organizations. Each partner leads projects that provide clean water, food, education, healthcare, and orphan care tailored to their communities’ needs. Together, we build healthier, more self-sufficient futures.

🌍 Yesterday was #WorldFoodDay — but celebrating food, culture, and connection doesn’t stop there.
This week, we’re sharing a traditional African Recipe of the Day to honor the dishes that nourish communities and carry deep cultural meaning.
Today’s dish: Fufu — a West and Central African staple, often made from cassava, yams, or plantains. 🍠🍌
Chewy, comforting, and rich in tradition, Fufu is more than food. It’s a dish shared at weddings, christenings, and family gatherings — eaten by hand, communally, in a way that brings people closer together.
✨ Fufu is a reminder that food connects us to the land, to tradition, and to one another.
👉 Share this with someone who loves Fufu — or someone who should try it! 🧡

Her future grows from the soil of Dandabu Village:
“Cassava changed my story. With the training and support from RYDO-SL and Bread and Water for Africa, I learned how to grow and sell cassava to support my family and pay for my schooling.

🌍 At Bread and Water for Africa®, food security means more than one meal — it means building systems that last.
From farms in Kenya to aquaculture in Zambia to training farmers in Malawi and Sierra Leone, we’ve spent decades helping communities grow their own food.
Most recently, in Tanzania, we partnered with Watoto Wa Africa Orphanage — home to more than 100 children — to develop 20 acres of farmland. From sorghum to sweet potatoes, corn, and greens, this project is transforming daily meals and creating long-term sustainability. 🌱
✨ Because when communities can grow their own food, they can grow their own future.

Her body moves differently, but her drive can move mountains. On this World Food Day, she reminds us of what strength really looks like.
This is Aminata, a differently abled woman and rural farmer from Sierra Leone.
“I may move differently, but my dreams for a world without hunger move just as strong. Food gives strength, hope, and dignity not just to the body, but to the heart. On this World Food Day, I want the world to know that when we work hand in hand no matter our abilities, we can grow a future where every plate is full and every life is valued.” – Aminata 💚
Today, we’re celebrating with our partner Rural Youth Development Organization in Sierra Leone, whose work is helping farmers grow more, waste less, and feed their communities with dignity. 🌱
With the support of Bread and Water for Africa®, they’ve trained over 200 farmers in sustainable agriculture and climate-smart practices — planting the seeds for a stronger, healthier future.
🧡 We’ll be sharing more strong voices throughout the day — follow along.
