LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY OF HOPE

Your generous support to Breadline Africa has helped us achieve so much. Since 1993, we have assisted over 500 projects that make a real difference uplifting poor communities in Africa “ helping people to help themselves".  Breadline Africa is one of the biggest converters of old shipping containers for poverty relief in Southern Africa. We have already recycled, refurbished and placed more than 175 containers in poor communities throughout Southern Africa to provide much-needed services like soup kitchens, classrooms, workshops, libraries, ablution blocks and health clinics.

WHY I AM LEAVING A LEGACY

"I have been involved with Breadline Africa now for many many years. I was first introduced through a letter that arrived asking for support for one of their wonderful projects. What really hooked me was how appreciative Breadline Africa was of any donation I sent them. Edna Titus has become a very dear friend of mine. She keeps me updated on all the projects I supported and made me feel I was making a difference to the most vulnerable in our society, the poor. Breadline Africa depend solely on donations and bequests and put this money to such wonderful use in all the projects they support to help people become self-sufficient – like Cans4 Skills and other projects providing medical care, teaching and feeding schemes. Breadline Africa is all about helping people to help themselves and give them back their dignity. To see the happy faces of the children they have looked after and fed would light up any room!

It gives me great pleasure to leave a Bequest in my will towards this wonderful organisation. Love and caring can travel across continents."
