Providing a Brighter Future
for Africa's Children
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.
WATER IS LIFE.
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 2026 and beyond.

Where Poverty Closes Doors, Education Opens Them
Sep 14, 2026
For millions of children in Chad, education remains a distant dream rather than a guaranteed right.

🍽️ There’s more than one way to help put food on the table.
Sometimes it starts with a farmer learning how to grow more food on a small plot of land.
Sometimes it’s an orphanage growing vegetables, raising chickens, or farming fish to help feed the children who live there.
And sometimes it’s as simple as making sure a student gets a meal during the school day.
Across the countries where we work, the programs may look different, but the goal is the same: help more people have reliable access to nutritious food. 🧡
This World Food Day, we’re celebrating the farmers, local partners, caregivers, and communities doing that work every day.
💬 Which part of our food programs would you like us to show you more of—farms, school meals, or food grown at our partner children’s homes? ...

🌱 So much of the work of feeding a family begins with women.
Across the communities we serve in Africa, women are planting crops, tending farms, feeding their families, and earning income from what they grow.
Through our agriculture programs, Bread and Water for Africa® works with local partners to provide women with training, seeds, tools, irrigation, and other resources that can help them grow more and build a more reliable source of food and income.
This International Day of Rural Women, we’re celebrating the women doing this work every day—and helping more of them have the resources to keep growing. 🧡
