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.

🧡 Janeth was just 6 years old when she came to Watoto Wa Africa Orphanage.
She had lost both of her parents and needed a place to call home. At WWAO, she
found one—and people who continued to believe in her as she grew.
Now 19, Janeth is pursuing her secondary education and thinking about how she can one day help other children.
As she puts it:
“Because people believed in me, I now believe in myself.”
That’s the kind of long-term support our partners at WWAO provide: a safe home, care, education, and people who stay in a child’s corner. 🧡
💬 Leave Janeth some encouragement as she continues working toward graduation! ...

📚 Education can open the door to so much—but first, students need the opportunity to stay in school.
This year, Bread and Water for Africa® is helping 83 students at Watoto Wa Africa Orphanage in Tanzania continue their education by supporting school fees, transportation, and other educational costs.
For these students, that support means fewer financial barriers standing between them and the future they’re working toward. 🧡
