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 2025 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.

🌍 Today’s recipe journey takes us to Ethiopia with Doro Wat, often called the country’s national dish.
This rich chicken stew is simmered with berbere spice, onions, and eggs, and served with injera flatbread. Doro Wat is more than a meal — it’s part of holidays, feasts, and family gatherings, loved for its depth of flavor and cultural pride.
✨ When Doro Wat is served, you know it’s a special day.

💧 How do you turn land into lasting food security? Smart farming practices.
At Watoto Wa Africa orphanage in Tanzania, Bread and Water for Africa® is supporting drip irrigation to provide fresh vegetables year-round, while staff are being trained in Farming God’s Way — a conservation method that restores soil health and boosts harvests.
The result? Children have consistent access to nutritious meals, the orphanage spends less at food markets, and surplus crops can be sold to generate income.
✨ Innovation in farming means stability for the future.

🌍 Yesterday was #WorldFoodDay — but celebrating food, culture, and connection doesn’t stop there.
This week, we’re sharing a traditional African Recipe of the Day to honor the dishes that nourish communities and carry deep cultural meaning.
Today’s dish: Fufu — a West and Central African staple, often made from cassava, yams, or plantains. 🍠🍌
Chewy, comforting, and rich in tradition, Fufu is more than food. It’s a dish shared at weddings, christenings, and family gatherings — eaten by hand, communally, in a way that brings people closer together.
✨ Fufu is a reminder that food connects us to the land, to tradition, and to one another.

“Farming changed my life. Through the training and support from RYDO-SL and Bread and Water for Africa, I now grow vegetables that help my parents and pay for my schooling. On this World Food Day, I celebrate the power of farming — it feeds our families, fuels our dreams, and gives us a future.”
