For years, 40-year-old Denis Kiyaga from Namagoma Village, Uganda, risked his life drinking contaminated water filled with algae, debris, and waste. The water was so unsafe it was only used for washing, forcing Denis to walk over an hour to find clean water for his family. But today, thanks to Bread and Water for Africa® supporters, a protected spring now provides safe, reliable water for the community.
In 2025, we aim to complete 15 more spring protection projects in Uganda. Join our World Water Day Challenge to help bring clean water to families like Denis’s.

At Bread and Water for Africa®, we believe true food security isn’t only about short-term aid—it’s about long-term sustainability. That’s why, alongside our partners, we’re equipping thousands across sub-Saharan Africa with the skills and resources to grow their own food, nourish their families, and build self-sufficient communities. 💪🏾🌱
In Malawi we’ve trained 178 individuals in soil conservation, which indirectly is helping 700+ others. In Sierra Leone 150 women & youth are trained in crop cultivation, impacting 4,000+ residents. In Tanzania & Uganda 176 individuals, including orphaned children and caregivers are directly benefiting from our sustainable food programs.
🚜 That’s 5,100+ Lives Transformed Through Sustainable Farming! And we’re just getting started!
With your support, we can help even more families break free from food insecurity and build a future of self-sufficiency. 🌍
💛 Donate today and be a part of this transformation! 👇🏾

Great
With no formal education and two young children to care for, Hawa Sillah struggled to make a living—until she joined the Farmers Training Program by RYDO-SL & Bread and Water for Africa®.
With training, seeds, and tools, she launched her own groundnut and bean business! Now, she’s earning, saving, and securing a future for her family.
“Before, I was struggling to plan and trace my profit, but now it’s easier to keep records of my daily business,” Hawa shares.
Women like Hawa depend on the generous support of donors like yourself! Continue to make an impact in their lives! 💙
