Why give to Breadline africa?

ExperienceFounded in 1993, Breadline Africa has a wealth of

experience,workinghand-in-handwithhundredsofprojects

to address a multitude of needs in Southern Africa. From

Paternoster in the Western Cape to the shores of Lake

Malawi, Breadline Africa has made its mark.

CostsBreadline Africa is committed to maintaining extremely low

overheads in order to provide donors with value for their

investment.

Monitoring, Evaluation and AccountabilityBreadline Africa is proud of our record of keeping the costs

of managing and disbursing grants low. However, this does

not mean that we neglect the importance of monitoring both

the work and impact of all organisations that receive funding.

In order to apply for funding, all organisations must supply

accurate budgets and proposed impact. The approval of

grants is contingent upon successful completion of a thoroughallocationsprocedureandaprojectvisit.Organisationsare

requiredtosubmitregularsix-monthlyprogressreportson

achieving the proposed impact.

SustainabilityWhereas many funders place strict limits on the duration for

which they will provide funding to a particular organisation,

Breadline Africa believes in a more sustainable partnership.

While we always ensure that organisations that we fund have

othersourcesoffunding,wedontdropprojectsmerelyonthe

basisofthedurationoffunding.Webelievethatthequalityofwork done and impact achieved is crucial to continued funding

and we are willing to partner with effective organisations for

the long term. As an individual donor you are faced with a

similar dilemma. If you give to an organisation this year, what

happensnextyear?One-offgivingcanbeverybenecialto

organisations but can also create huge problems and cutbacks

indifculteconomictimes.Thatiswhyweareconvincedthat

givingthroughBreadlineAfricaoffersmanybenetstodonors.

We raise funds from a variety of sources, which means that your

long-term or once-off investment is used to provide consistent,

sustainable giving in a true partnership.

Grassroots OrganisationsGrassroots community organisations work at the coalface

of community development, surviving on tiny budgets,

butmakingalargeimpact.Amajorproblemwiththese

theydesperatelyrequirefundingandexposuretocontinue

their vital work. Breadline Africa partners with many such

projectsand,insomecases,providesadditionalfunding

for more connected community workers to support their

valuable work.

We believe that there are many reasons why giving to Breadline Africa is a most effective way for you to make a difference in

poor and needy communities. Perhaps the most important is that we view traditional donations as investments into communities

andthelivesofindividuals.Wegiveahandup,notjustahandout.

chairpersons statement

There is never a dull moment as the Chairperson of Breadline

Africa! On a freezing day in November, I found myself being

presented with a huge bright red shipping container in the

forecourtoftheBBCheadquartersinWoodLane,London.

ThiswastheBBCBox,whichhadbeenthesubjectofa

year-long documentary about world trade. The owners of the

container, NYK Shipping, had generously decided to donate

the container to Breadline Africa. The Maersk shipping group

then shipped the container to Cape Town, free of charge,

where it was converted into a much needed soup kitchen in

a deprived area close to Cape Town. This container kitchen

has provided a meal for hundreds of vulnerable childreneverydaysinceitsofcialopeningbytheLadyMayoressof

London on a visit to Cape Town.

InMarch2010,IwasinvitedtomeetwithPresidentZuma

and eleven senior South Africa Government Ministers during

his state visit to Britain, along with many other charitable

and voluntary organisations working in South Africa. This

was a very valuable opportunity for Breadline Africa and

other UK charities to bring our work to the attention of the

South African government and to discuss the problems and

frustrations of trying to help the poor and vulnerable in SouthAfrican society. The President promised to establish a forum

for discussion among the many UK charities working in South

Africa to coordinate our work and enable us to operate in a

moreefcientandeffectivegroup.Theforumwouldfacilitate

easier and faster access to relevant government agencies in

South Africa. I remain hopeful that this will lead to a new era

for the voluntary sector in South Africa.

The continuing tough economic environment makes raising

charitable funds even more of a challenge than usual. Our

wonderful loyal donors have responded as generously as

possible to our continued please for help but the average

size and number of donations is considerably down on the

previous year. This has a direct impact on the number and

sizeofprojectswecanaffordtosupport.Howeverwiththe

dedication of our employees and volunteers as well as the

ongoing support of our donors we are optimistic that we can

return to growth in the near future.

I would like to express particular thanks to my hard working

and long suffering fellow trustees this year. Given the verydifcultfundraisingclimate,thetrusteesfeltthatweshould

do everything we could to help. To date the UK trustees

have raised around 40,000 (R440,000) and the Irish

Trustees 10,000 (R100,000) from their families, friends and

contacts. Most now say they have no friends left but it has all

been worth it to know that we have raised enough money to

convert ten shipping containers into badly needed facilities

for some of the most deprived and vulnerable children in

South Africa.

We are doing everything we can to strengthen our core

focus areas of children and young people. We are exploring

every type of alternative fundraising to complement direct

mail which has been our traditional source of funding. Weare actively seeking to obtain grants from grant giving trusts,

corporates and government sources and we continue our

constantquesttoreducecosts.

Tim Smith, the South African-based Director of Breadline

Africa, and his small dedicated teams in Cape Town and

IpswichdoawonderfuljobonaverytightbudgetandI

remain extremely grateful to them. Tims own rather hair-

raising participation in the Argus Cape bicycle challenge is a

typical example of the wonderful commitment of our staff. The

SouthAfricanfundraisingdepartmentalsoorganisedtherstever geek fashion show in Cape Town in aid of Breadline

Africa which was a resounding success.

In the coming year we will continue to strive to provide an

efcientandeffectivesolutiontopovertyinSouthernAfrica.

situated in Green Point, near the beginning of the Fan Walk

from the city to the stadium, so during the World Cup and for

quiteawhilebeforeweheardthesoundofthevuvuzela

from early morning until dusk. Later came the crowds of

football fans in different colours, the marching bands and

clowns and people on stilts, and a wonderful carnival

atmosphere that marked those days as very special. In our

continued our special focus on supplying containers, and this

CASE STUDY: MAKhUNDU ChRISTIAN SUPPORT

Makhundu Christian Support Organisation operates about

50km south of the Kruger National Park, and next to

Swaziland, in a number of villages that have been decimated

by AIDS and poverty. When local farmer, Rollo Granville,

andhiswifeInky,realisedtheextentoftheproblemand

thenumberofchildrenlivingwithoutparentstheydecided

that they could not turn a blind eye. Using some of their own

savings and some funding raised from the community, they

used their own time and resources to start providing food for

local orphans. Currently they provide food to around 2400

need, Makhundu has opened up 3 soup kitchens providing

100 children with 3 meals a day. As is often the case with

community work, supporting one need opens up a host of

other needs and so now in addition to feeding children,

Makhundu provides support with accessing identity documents

(crucial for accessing government support grants), clothing,

blankets,stationeryandsomesportsequipment.Theyalso

educational support and skills development

sports, art and culture

Breadline Africa recognises the importance of education for the future of our children. In South Africa there is no state

schooling until the age of 6. We partner with organisations that are working to improve education levels through preschoolteacher training, after school child support and enhanced educational support. Education provides hope.

The ability to provide opportunities for recreation and sport and the opportunity to dream are critical to changing individuals

paradigms and breaking cycles of despair and hopelessness.

CASE STUDY: SIKhULA SONKE

A harsh reality of township life is that most parents have to work fulltime and are

thereforeforcedtondacrcheorpreschool/educaretotakecareoftheirchildren.

Preschools are very common in townships and care for large numbers of children on

small budgets, often using untrained teachers. We know that between the ages of

0-6 are some of the most important years in childhood development, which makes

the role that these preschools play critical in shaping our future. Sikhula Sonke is

an example of an organisation that we fund that is changing the face of education

in impoverished communities. Based in the largest township in Cape Town,Khayelitsha, Sikhula Sonke trains educare teachers in a thorough curriculum and

offers support to the preschools at which they work. Sikhula Sonke offers two one-

year courses in educare training as well as courses in other topics such as parent

training,schoolreadiness,teacherassistanttrainingandchildtrafcking,protection

and safety. In addition, they work with educare centres to ensure that they have

appropriate,safefacilitiesforchildrentodate,sixeducarecentreshavebeen

upgradedandreproofed.Thisyeartheorganisationtrainedalmost100educare

teachers. If you consider that each teacher looks after around 10 children, a

large number of children are directly impacted by the work of Sikhula Sonke and

Breadline Africa funding.

CASE STUDY: ZISIZE

Situated on the border of South Africa and Swaziland, near a small rural

village called Ingwavuma, lies an example of an organisation deeply

involved in community development and using sports to bring hope to

children.Likemanyruraldevelopmentorganisations,Zisizesupportsthelocal

One of Breadline Africas most successful enterprises hasbeen its provision of renovated shipping containers for

various uses. Since 1993, Breadline Africa has provided

over 130 containers to poverty-stricken communities across

the Western and Eastern Cape. Containers are used as:

communitykitchens,servingfoodtotheverypoor;day-care

centresforchildren;librariesandmediacentresinschools;

footballclubchangingrooms;healthclinics;andablution

Thisyear,forthersttime,weextendedourreachandbegan supplying containers in other provinces. A container

library and media centre was supplied to the Bertrams Junior

School in Johannesburg, and a container dining room to

the Kingdom Care Centre in Tembisa in Gauteng. In these

provinces, we made use of the services of local container

conversion companies to assist with this work.

Container applications are now screened by a Container

Committee, which meets once a month to assess them and

to allocate funds for container renovations. The committee is

constantly receiving applications from all over South Africa,and is looking at ways of extending our support to areas

furtheraeld.

With the funds that the trustees raised this year we will be

able to provide at least 10 new containers for child care

centres in the Western Cape. We congratulate them and

thankthemonbehalfofthemanybeneciaries,mostly

(First River) outside Cape Town.

The Box was welcomed in style and formally opened by

the Lady Mayoress of London, Claire Anstee, on 25 March

2010. She was received by local dignitaries and excited

children, who entertained the visitors with choral and

dance performances. Thanks and deep appreciation wereexpressed to all who had a hand in bringing the Box to its

newhometheBBC,NYKandMaerskshippinglines,and

Mr CJ Pieters, principal of the RR Franks school, which hosts

the new kitchen in their grounds.

The container that once sailed the ocean waves has come

to rest in a tiny part of the Western Cape that experiences

great hardship. In its new form as a community kitchen for

the hungry, the Box will provide for the most basic of human

needs by nourishing children, the elderly and patients from a

nearby clinic. We think its the Boxs greatest adventure yet!

Following on from the success of our Cans4Skills programme which sees old shipping

training for our trainers and also certify the courses.

online fundraising initiatives

Thewordssocialmediaarecurrentlyalltherageitseemsas if everyone is Facebook friends or twittering. Well,

BreadlineAfricahasjoinedtheranks.Wearemakinguseofall

the technology available to us to raise funds. We are doing it

so well that we were shortlisted for the top 12 of 100 entrants

in the 2009 SANGONet (The Southern African NGO Network)

web and mobile awards in the social media category.

Our Celebrity SMS competition, which ran in February 2010,

markedthersttimethatBreadlineAfricautilisedmobile

technology as a fundraising platform. The prize was a fully

paid for meal with one of the four South African celebrities whogenerously donated their time. We received over 500 smses

(text messages) and this, together with the microsite, raised over

800 (R9000).

The words geek and fashion show tend to be mutually

exclusive. Geeks are not known for their model look, but

rather for their ability to programme, code, develop, tweet

and blog! But Breadline Africa has always been a different

kind of charity so we came up with a rather original idea

tothrowaGeekFashionShow,featuringsomeofthe

top online personalities and bloggers in Cape Town.

To ensure the success of this novel event, we integrated oursocialmediaplatformslikeTwitterandFacebookto

raise awareness, engage the community and sell tickets.

The result was a sold out event with all proceeds going

directlytoBreadlineAfricaandourprojects.Plusafurther

330 (R3600) was raised during our auction on the

big night.

We have also been developing and expanding our email

marketing programme, with great success. Our Christmas

emailer resulted in some of the highest donations we haveever received online.
