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:

Classrooms, toilet facilities and or kitchens using converted shipping containers and prefabricated units, to replace unsafe shacks

Feeding programmes, school stationery packs and educational outings to develop good learning outcomes

Converted shipping containers and prefabricated libraries to improve literacy levels
Types of gifts
There are three types of gift 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
“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.”
Shahid Mathews – Principal, Cecil Road Primary School
“I would like to thank everyone. Before, it was difficult and even dangerous to cook in the classroom, so I would have to wake up at 4am to start preparing meals at my home. On the day that the new kitchen 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.”
Ms Nonzuzo Mzinyathi – Principal of Lukhanyiso Educare Centre
