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

Cover

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

Beneficiary Voices

“I would like to thank all the donors and partners who had made this donation possible. I can assure you that reading periods will become the norm at the school – and having the infrastructure to do so will make all the difference in helping our children to learn – not just to read, but to love reading!”

“It’s been a wonderful thing to see the joy and excitement in the eyes of our children as the library started taking shape. We’re excited to open the doors and let the children enjoy the incredible resource that has been created for them. With its imaginative design and bright colours, the children don’t even have to go into the library to gain from the experience.”

"I would like to thank the Old Mutual Two Oceans runners, Cape Town Cycle Tour cyclists and donors who helped make this new container a reality. Before, it was difficult and even dangerous to cook in the classroom, so I would have to wake up at 04h00 to start preparing meals at my home. On the day that the container arrived, I was like a young child – beyond excited! I even got out of bed on the first night to make sure it was real and still there. I will keep thanking you all until the sun goes down.”
