Mission Statement
Bread and Water for Africa’s® mission is to promote positive change in Africa by supporting and strengthening grassroots initiatives for community self-sufficiency, health and education.
About This Cause
Bread and Water for Africa® began in 1986 as a project of Christian Relief Services to promote positive change in Africa by supporting grassroots initiatives for self-sufficiency, health and education. (this has been our mission ever since.) On December 30, 1997, Bread and Water for Africa®, a Virginia nonstock incorporated charity headquartered in Fairfax County, became an international non-governmental organization. Today, we are still an affiliate of Christian Relief Services and share office space, technical, and administrative support in order to devote more of our financial resources to our programs in Africa. We receive funding from wonderfully supportive and caring individuals, family and community foundations, corporations, Christian Relief Services, generous Federal employees through the Combined Federal Campaign, generous state employees through state employee campaigns, wills and bequests, and employer matching contributions. During our 17-year history, we have provided more than $5,000,000 in grant funding to grassroots African organizations in Burundi, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Guinea, Kenya, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Grant funding has been concentrated on projects in the areas of education, health care, clean water, agricultural self-sufficiency, orphan care and income-generating projects to support our partners’ free or low-cost programs. We have also provided more than $120,000,000 worth of in-kind donations of medicine, medical supplies and equipment, hygiene items, books, tools, school furniture, computers and other assorted relief items to our various partners and their programs.
