Breadline Africa is an internationally registered South African-based charity that aims to break the cycle of poverty – by helping communities to help themselves. At Breadline Africa we believe that children and young people hold the future in their hands.

We have our highly successful Container Programme, converting old shipping containers into vital community structures. The portable, versatile and secure recycled containers are a lifeline to many struggling communities, where they provide instant and vital infrastructure. Since 1993, we have recycled, refurbished and placed more than 175 of these containers in poor communities throughout Southern Africa.
