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.

A donation can provide food for a day.

A sustainable project can help support children for years. 🧡

That's why Bread and Water for Africa® is helping launch a poultry project at Watoto Wa Africa Orphanage in Tanzania.

The project will provide nutritious food for 118 children, create opportunities for local employment, teach valuable skills, and generate income to help support students pursuing higher education.

As the project grows, the goal is simple: help the orphanage become more self-sustaining while continuing to invest in the children who call it home.

❤️ Help us support projects that create lasting impact.

🐣 Why does poultry matter across Africa?

It's about more than chickens.

Poultry helps provide nutritious food, supports livelihoods, creates jobs, and generates income for families and communities across the continent.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), village poultry production plays an important role in improving nutrition, generating income, and helping families become more resilient in the face of economic challenges.

That's one reason Bread and Water for Africa® is helping support a poultry project at Watoto Wa Africa Orphanage in Tanzania.

The project will help provide food for 118 children while creating a sustainable source of income to support their education and future opportunities.

🐣 What if a poultry project could help feed children today and support their education for years to come?

That's exactly what Bread and Water for Africa® is helping make possible at Watoto Wa Africa Orphanage in Tanzania.

The new poultry project will provide eggs and chicken for the 118 children living at the orphanage while also creating a sustainable source of income to help cover educational expenses as students advance to high school and university. 📚

It's about more than food. It's about building something that can continue supporting children long after the initial investment is made.

When people think ab

When people think about clean water, they usually think about drinking water.
But clean water changes so much more than that. 💧

In the communities where these six new wells were installed, women and children used to spend hours everyday walking to collect water.

Now, that time can be spent in school, caring for family, earning income, or simply being together. ❤️

Clean water means healthier children.
It means fewer waterborne illnesses.
It means more opportunities for entire communities.

Today, 5,780 people have access to clean water because supporters chose to help.

👉 Help us bring that same opportunity to even more communities: africanrelief.donorsupport.co/page/FUNZFGHJCSQ

Climate action can take many forms. Sometimes, it starts with the soil. 🌱🌍

One way Bread and Water for Africa® is helping support that effort is through Farming God's Way in Malawi.

Also known as conservation agriculture, Farming God's Way teaches practices like no-till farming, crop rotation, and soil cover — methods that help reduce environmental stress on depleted soils while improving productivity. 🌱🌾

For farmers in Malawi, this work is about more than growing crops.
As one local partner explained, it helps support "the restoration of soil fertility and conservation of soil caused by the harm climate change is doing periodically in our area."

That's why we're proud to support programs that help communities care for the land, strengthen food security, and build resilience for the future. 💚

If you're with us in supporting climate action at the community level, drop a 💚 in the comments.
