TO EMPOWER A WOMAN IS TO EMPOWER A NATION
Bread and Water for Africa® and our partners have long supported women's programs in Africa, enabling them to become self-sufficient and agents of change in their communities.
Our Partners in Women's Programs:
Ndegbormei Development Organization in Bumpe, Sierra Leone
We have provided health care specifically for pregnant and lactating women, enabling women to give birth safely and stay healthy to raise their children.

Faith Healing Development Organization (FHDO) in Grafton, Sierra Leone
Created a bakery project, which has in turn created a source of income for over 120 women.
The bakery project included a free introductory training course in the art of baking and the women have been equipped with the necessary selling stations throughout Grafton Village. One participant, Mrs. Elizabeth Cole (in photo), is looking towards the future, thinking of expanding her business through the provision of another station. learn more...
