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.

L’accès à l’eau potable reste un défi majeur pour de nombreuses communautés rurales en RDC. Chez TAC Asbl, nous œuvrons pour apporter des solutions concrètes et durables basées sur trois piliers :

1️⃣ Construction et réhabilitation des points d’eau;

2️⃣ Sensibilisation et formation WASH;

3️⃣ Implication et autonomisation des comités locaux

Avoir accès à l’eau potable, c’est réduire les maladies, améliorer la scolarisation, libérer du temps pour les familles et renforcer l’économie locale.

Notre engagement est clair : rendre l’eau potable accessible à tous.

In Bulumbu Buyiga Village, Uganda, families once shared their only water source with cattle.

Children sometimes stepped into the water while collecting it.
But there was no other option.

Today, the spring has been protected through the Bega Kwa Bega WASH program, supported by Bread and Water for Africa®.

Now clean water serves 50 households and a school with 420 students!
Village chairman Robert Nsamba, a father of 13, says the change has been life-changing. Before, families waited for dirt to settle before using the water. Now there is a constant flow of clean, safe water, and children can collect it safely from a pipe outlet.

School leaders no longer worry about students falling ill from contaminated water.
But many villages are still waiting.

💧 Take a look at these water facts from UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO):

According to the United Nations, about 2.2 billion people worldwide still lack safely managed drinking water.

That means millions of families rely on water that may be unsafe to drink.
Projects like the Bega Kwa Bega WASH program in Uganda, supported by Bread and Water for Africa®, help change that.

Protected spring sites now serve:
• 7,190 people
• 1,438 households
• 3,996 students
Clean water supports health, education, and stronger communities.

In Bukungulu Village, Uganda, families once collected water from a spring that everyone knew wasn’t safe.

The water was green and contaminated — but the nearest safe source was an hour away.

So people still used it.

With support from Bread and Water for Africa® and Bega Kwa Bega (BKB), that spring is now protected.

Today, more than 50 households have access to clean, safe water close to home.
Among them is Nabunya Hadija, a member of the community water committee and mother of four. Nabunya sells food for a living, and says the clean, safe water now “helps her both at home and for her food business.”

Sometimes one water project can change daily life for an entire village.

💧 Restoring access to clean water across these ten communities will reach 59,016 people at a cost of less than 25 cents per person.

When these wells are rehabilitated, health centers regain the ability to maintain safe sanitation standards. Mothers deliver in cleaner conditions. Children receive treatment with reduced risk of infection. Schools and vulnerable households once again have dependable water access.

For nearly 40 years, Bread and Water for Africa® has invested in clean water development because water is the foundation of health, education, and stability.
The need in Sierra Leone is urgent, and the solution is clear.

Help us complete the rehabilitation of these ten wells and restore safe water to thousands of families. 💙
