Leave a legacy
Leave a legacy
Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will to help generations of children in South Africa to learn and grow. Gifts like the one you are considering right now, form the foundations upon which we are able to build the futures of thousands of South African children.
How your gift will help
Even a modest gift becomes a powerful catalyst for change, enabling us to provide vital infrastructure for education.
Like many of our dedicated donors who have already left a bequest in their Will, you may rest assured that your wishes will be honoured. Once you have remembered family and friends in your Will, you may decide to leave a gift to the children of Breadline Africa. We recommend you seek legal advice when making or altering your final wishes.
Your gift is a vital tool for us to continue providing solutions to under resourced communities and vulnerable people. Breadline Africa’s community-based projects are clustered into three main groups and your legacy gift will help us to continue our work in these areas:
Pre-schools / Crèches
Classrooms, toilet facilities and or kitchens using converted shipping containers and prefabricated units, to replace unsafe shacks
Initiatives and Special Community Projects
Feeding programmes, school stationery packs and educational outings to develop good learning outcomes
Library project
Converted shipping containers and prefabricated libraries to improve literacy levels
Types of gifts
There are three types of gifts you can leave in your Will:
A share of your estate
This is a percentage of your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been paid.
A specific sum
This is a gift of a set amount of money
A specific item
This would be something valuable such as an antique, painting, property or shares that we would sell

Frequently asked questions
The simple answer is now. Surprisingly, many people die without making a Will, which means family or friends left behind may face some tricky problems. By making a Will now, you can have the peace of mind that you have protected your estate and provided for your loved ones.
Many people prefer to see donations made to Breadline Africa in lieu of floral tributes. If this is stated in your Will, the executors can make sure that your wishes are known.
This is up to you. Charities like to know in advance so they can both acknowledge your generosity and make sure they can accommodate your wishes.
While some gifts may be large, many are small. Regardless of size, all gifts are important to help continue our vital work.
