 There is no simple solution to problems facing Africa people today, but don’t let that discourage you from trying to help every little act of compassion adds up.
HERE ARE 10 EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
1- Travel:
Join the Bread and Water for Africa staff and other adventurers like yourself on our August 2012 Kenya safari! Participants will be taken to many of Kenya’s breathtaking national parks and will be hosted by spokesperson Phyllis Keino in Eldoret where they will witness three of our partner programs- The Lewa Children's Home, Kipkeino School, and the Baraka Farm- first-hand!

.
2- Share:
Share your experience, ideas, and knowledge about Africa with friends and family. Discussing Africa with others spreads awareness and motivates other to act too.

3- Discuss:
If you have traveled or worked in Africa give a talk to a group you belong to or to your class. If you would like materials to help you in coordinating a discussion regarding issues, history, or current events in Africa, please contact us at

- we would love to help!
4- Donate:
Every donation possesses the possibility of changing the life of an African child. Every dollar helps.
5- Eat:
Eat at African restaurants – there is no more delicious way to experience African culture. Who knows? Perhaps your first taste of African culture will leave you hungry for more experiences!
6- Visit:
Visit local African events, expos, and museums. You will be amazed by the environment and natural resources, by the continent's demographic diversity, and by the richness of African culture.
7- Support:
Contact your Congressman. Foreign-assistance programs represent a tiny fraction of our nation’s budget – less than one percent – but their impact is substantial. American aid saves millions of lives each year by putting children in school, helping women start businesses, preventing the spread of malaria and HIV, and assisting farmers working to improve their local economies. Indeed, foreign-aid programs serve an important role in promoting the security of our nation and world. Remind your local and federal representative to remember our nation's duty to our foreign brothers.
8- Sponsor:
Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity for you to connect with a specific child's needs and to transform that child’s life and community forever through provisions such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education.
9- Invest:
You may be in a position to invest in an African business or to join a group of investors with African interests (there are a growing number of African investment funds). Even the simple act of buying African art in an American store helps to support the artists and their families
10- Write:
Voice your views and perspectives on Africa-related issues. Write a letter to your senator, member of Congress, or state or local government official. Share your opinions with companies engaged in Africa. Author a guest editorial for your community or school newspaper, or post a message on your favorite Internet message board, blog, Facebook page, or on Twitter!
