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.

Do you remember our WASH projects of 2025? 💧
They’re the clean water systems, school latrines, and hygiene initiatives Bread and Water for Africa® implements across sub-Saharan Africa—bringing life’s most vital resources to communities that need them most.
Students benefit because they no longer have to miss school to fetch water. Girls, in particular, are able to stay in class longer and better manage their health. Community health also improves when families have access to clean water and safe sanitation.
Together, we didn’t just talk about impact—we delivered it.
