Leave a lasting legacy of hope
Your generous support to Breadline Africa has helped us achieve so much. Since 1993, we have assisted over 270 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 130 containers in poor communities throughout Southern Africa to provide much-needed services – like soup kitchens, classrooms, workshops, libraries, ablution blocks and health clinics.
Your generosity has already helped us to improve the lives of thousands of poor people in desperately poor communities in Africa. Together, we are taking small, important steps to end the poverty, hunger and disease that afflict millions of people in Africa. But there is a long road to travel – and it’s vital that our work continues.
Poverty cannot be eradicated overnight, or even in one lifetime. When you draw up your Will, you have a wonderful opportunity to ensure that your support – and our work – continues to leave a lasting legacy of hope.
A legacy gift is the perfect way to ensure that your loyal support for Breadline Africa continues in the future. And your legacy gift will help us provide Africa’s children with the chance of a brighter future.

“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.”
Helen McSweeney
