Bread & Water for Africa was created to help make positive change in Africa by supporting and strengthening grassroots initiatives for self-sufficiency, health and education.

In 2006, through the support of our many generous donors and the hard work and committment of our African parnters, BWA programs and partners provided primary health care, education, food security, food self-sufficiency, vocational skills training and literacy, micro-credit, clean water and orphan care programs to 49,874 African people who needed our help.
