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 2026 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.

Today we celebrate World Water Day.
The 2026 theme — “Where water flows, equality grows” — highlights the powerful connection between water, sanitation, and gender equality.
Because water for equality means health.
Water for equality means opportunity.
Water for equality means safety.
Worldwide:
• 1.8 billion people still lack drinking water on their premises
• Women and girls spend 250 million hours every day collecting water
• 156 million girls lack access to basic hygiene services
At Bread and Water for Africa®, we see how safe water and sanitation empower women, protect health, and help communities thrive.
But there is still much work to be done.
On #WorldWaterDay, we stand with communities working toward a future where safe water is available to everyone.

These girls are singing because they finally have safe toilets at school.
For many students, safe sanitation means no longer feeling embarrassed or afraid just to use the bathroom.
It means privacy, safety, and the confidence to focus on learning instead of worrying about basic safety.
Bread and Water for Africa® is working to provide safe toilets for 1,180 students in Malawi.

When sanitation looks like this — exposed, broken, and unsafe — it creates the perfect conditions for cholera to spread.
Cholera cases across Southern Africa have increased more than sevenfold in early 2026, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Flooding, damaged infrastructure, and limited access to clean water and sanitation are fueling the outbreak.
Cholera spreads through contaminated water and poor sanitation conditions — making safe toilets and hygiene infrastructure critical for protecting communities.
Improving sanitation isn’t just about convenience.
It’s about preventing deadly disease.
💬 Access to safe water and sanitation is one of the most effective ways to prevent outbreaks. Why do you think this issue still affects so many communities around the world?

“Many girls won’t use the present toilets… because outsiders are able to see inside.” As our partner Faithful Heart Foundation explained.
At Rabu Primary School in Malawi, students are forced to use cracked, damaged toilets with holes large enough for outsiders to see inside.
When sanitation facilities are unsafe or lack privacy, girls often miss lessons or stop attending school altogether.
The United Nations reminds us that the global water crisis affects everyone — but women and girls often bear the greatest burden.

More than 1,000 students at Rabu Primary School in Malawi attend classes every day without safe sanitation facilities.
Cracked walls.
Broken toilets.
Little privacy — especially for girls.
When schools lack adequate sanitation, students can miss classes, feel unsafe, or drop out altogether.
That’s why Bread and Water for Africa®, together with our partner the Faithful Heart Foundation, is working to construct new toilet facilities that will serve 1,180 students and help protect their health, safety, and education.
Safe sanitation means healthier students and stronger schools.
