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.

Life at Kabwata Orphanage is built on consistency. Children have regular meals, access to healthcare, and the ability to stay in school without interruption.
For many of them, this is a major shift. Before arriving, some experienced long gaps in education, unstable living conditions, or limited access to basic care.
Kabwata works to change that by providing what administrator Simambo Miyanda describes as “holistic care to vulnerable children under our protection.”
Now, there is structure in their day and support behind them. That consistency allows them to focus on learning and building a future that once felt out of reach.

At Bread and Water for Africa®, we support orphan care programs that provide children with a safe place to live, learn, and grow.
One of those programs is Kabwata Orphanage in Lusaka, Zambia — a home for 106 orphaned and vulnerable children who rely on it for daily care, education, and stability.
For many of these children, it is the first time they have had consistent meals, access to school, and a safe environment.
Beatrice is one of them.
She arrived at Kabwata after experiencing years of abuse and instability. When she came, she was behind in school and unsure of what her future would look like. With steady support, she returned to the classroom, worked her way through primary school, and passed her national exams.
Today, she continues her education with a different sense of what’s possible.
Her story is one example of what consistent care and support can change over time.

No one should have to live without proper healthcare—no matter where they are.
But in rural Malawi, distance, cost, and limited resources make that a daily reality.
Mobile clinics are changing that—bringing care directly to communities that need it most.
But they can’t keep going without support.
Every visit. Every treatment. Every life reached—depends on it.

For Mr. Rabson Chirwa, even walking had become painful.
At 55, he was living with constant pain in his back and lower limb—making the long trip to a hospital nearly impossible.
Then a mobile clinic came to his village.
Right there in his community, he was examined, diagnosed with arthritis, and given treatment.
And slowly, the pain began to ease.
“Thank you for bringing this help directly to our village… you have truly lifted a heavy burden from me.”
This is what it looks like when care comes closer to home.
Healthcare shouldn’t depend on where you live.

When someone in rural Malawi gets sick, getting care isn’t always simple.
That’s why mobile clinics matter.
Through our partnership with the Our AIM Foundation (OAF), these clinics bring doctors, medicine, and treatment directly to villages—so families can get the care they need, closer to home.
In 2025 alone, 1,845 people received care through this effort.
But this work depends on continued support.
Without it, these clinics can’t keep reaching the communities that rely on them.
