aBout us
Breadline Africa is a UK-registered, Southern African based charity, that seeks to put an end to poverty in Africa. Our aim is to break the cycle of poverty, helping communities to help themselves by: Finding sensible, sustainable, long-term solutions to the problems created by poverty quick fixes have a limited impact; Supporting projects that will make a permanent difference in the lives of communities affected by extreme poverty hunger, homelessness, lack of skills training, unemployment; Ensuring that as far as possible the projects we get involved with are run and managed by their beneficiaries; Not imposing solutions, but helping others be innovative in finding their own answers to the problems caused by poverty.

Breadline Africa works throughout Southern Africa. Our focus areas are the SADC (Southern African Development Community) countries, namely: Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Why give to Breadline africa?

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 and the lives of individuals. We give a hand up, not just a hand out.

Experience
Founded in 1993, Breadline Africa has a wealth of experience, working hand-in-hand with hundreds of projects 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.

Grassroots Organisations
Grassroots community organisations work at the coalface of community development, surviving on tiny budgets, but making a large impact. A major problem with these projects is their lack of resources, including the ability to fundraise. You wont find them on Facebook or Google, but they desperately require funding and exposure to continue their vital work. Breadline Africa partners with many such projects and, in some cases, provides additional funding for more connected community workers to support their valuable work.

Costs
Breadline Africa is committed to maintaining extremely low overheads in order to provide donors with value for their investment.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Accountability

Breadline 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 thorough allocations procedure and a project visit. Organisations are required to submit regular six-monthly progress reports on achieving the proposed impact.

Sustainability
Whereas 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 other sources of funding, we dont drop projects merely on the basis of the duration of funding. We believe that the quality of work 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 happens next year? One-off giving can be very beneficial to organisations but can also create huge problems and cutbacks in difficult economic times. That is why we are convinced that giving through Breadline Africa offers many benefits to donors. 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.

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 forecourt of the BBC headquarters in Wood Lane, London. This was the BBC Box, which had been the subject of a 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 children every day since its official opening by the Lady Mayoress of London on a visit to Cape Town. In March 2010, I was invited to meet with President Zuma 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 South African 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 more efficient and effective group. The forum would facilitate 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 size of projects we can afford to support. However with the 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 very difficult fundraising climate, the trustees felt that we should 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. We are actively seeking to obtain grants from grant giving trusts, corporates and government sources and we continue our constant quest to reduce costs. Tim Smith, the South African-based Director of Breadline Africa, and his small dedicated teams in Cape Town and Ipswich do a wonderful job on a very tight budget and I remain extremely grateful to them. Tims own rather hairraising participation in the Argus Cape bicycle challenge is a typical example of the wonderful commitment of our staff. The South African fundraising department also organised the first ever 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 efficient and effective solution to poverty in Southern Africa. Louise Seligman Chairperson

directors report
2010 will be forever remembered by us in South Africa as the year of the World Cup. The Breadline Offices are situated in Green Point, near the beginning of the Fan Walk from the city to the stadium, so during the World Cup and for quite a while before we heard the sound of the vuvuzela 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 offices, we hung flags of all the nations, dressed in yellow to support our national team on Fridays, and sometimes joined the crowds en route to the stadium. Throughout the build-up to the World Cup and this historic year, we were conscious of a basic question: When the World Cup has come and gone, what legacy will it leave for us and the children of Africa whom we support? In order to help make a small difference, we selected a project which promotes football in some of the poorest townships, and asked our donors to contribute towards the renovation of a container for use as a changing room. And you did so, marvellously (see page 6 for the story). During the past year Breadline Africa was again able to help thousands of people through the many projects we fund. This year we are funding projects from Cape Town all the way to Zambia, Malawi and beyond. Our projects all support young people in one or more of three focus areas: health, education, or sports, arts and culture. This last year we distributed over 700,000 (R7.7 million/770,000) to worthy beneficiaries throughout the subcontinent. We continued our special focus on supplying containers, and this year were especially delighted when the BBC presented us with their famous BBC Box after its year-long journey around the world (see page 7 for story). Our staff too, aware of the difficult times, have made their own efforts, and organised events here in Cape Town ranging from the Geek Fashion Show, to participating in an annual Cycle Race and a Comedy Show as well. Everyone has made their own contribution. We continue to be especially grateful to you, our donors, who have helped us through thick and thin. We are very aware of how difficult life has become because of the recession, and yet you continue to show your generosity to those less fortunate. May you find rich rewards from the joy of giving, and the knowledge of the difference you have made in the lives of so many little ones. Tim Smith Director

focus areas of Work

Breadline Africa believes that children and young people hold the future of Southern Africa in their hands. Our focus over the past year has been on allocating funds to projects that concentrate on this sector of the community in the three key areas we identified in 2008, namely: Health and Wellbeing Educational Support Sports, Arts and Culture. We have also established a Container Committee to continue the work of our highly successful Container project, which converts old shipping containers into vital community structures and we have begun the process of expanding our Cans4Skills project to enable us to reach even more youngsters.

health and WellBeing

The health of children and youth is a major issue for poor communities in Southern Africa. Breadline Africa works with many organisations in many communities to provide health support in the form of feeding schemes, basic medicines and clothing for infants, HIV awareness, psycho-social support and much more. 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, and his wife Inky, realised the extent of the problem and the number of children living without parents they decided 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 children in 8 villages in the area. The food is basic a bag of mealie meal every 2 weeks, soya mince and some fruit, vegetables and canned meat/fish when the budget allows but it provides a daily meal. This project is making a major impact in these communities, allowing children not only to survive but to finish (and pass) school. In areas of dire 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, stationery and some sports equipment. They also liaise with Social Services and local schools to ensure that in any way possible they can provide hope and opportunity to these children. The passion, need and selflessness of Inky and Rollo are why Breadline Africa continues to partner with Makhundu Christian Support to provide hope in desperately poor communities. 4

educational support and skills development

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 preschool teacher training, after school child support and enhanced educational support. Education provides hope. CASE STUDY: SIKhULA SONKE A harsh reality of township life is that most parents have to work fulltime and are therefore forced to find a crche or preschool/educare to take care of their children. 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 oneyear courses in educare training as well as courses in other topics such as parent training, school readiness, teacher assistant training and child trafficking, protection and safety. In addition, they work with educare centres to ensure that they have appropriate, safe facilities for children to date, six educare centres have been upgraded and fireproofed. This year the organisation trained almost 100 educare 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.

sports, art and culture

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: 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. Like many rural development organisations, Zisize supports the local community in a multitude of ways including a preschool, library, orphan care, educational support, career advice, child radio project, psychosocial department, a teacher support programme and sport. Breadline Africa has partnered with Zisize to grow sporting opportunities for rural school children. To date this partnership has seen over 1800 children at six schools participating in regular sport practices. Children have also participated in age-specific soccer, netball, chess, volleyball and touch rugby tournaments as well as a number of cricket clinics and matches. Zisize runs coach the coaches training events at these six schools and provides sporting equipment, including the recent construction of a quality artificial cricket pitch. Breadline Africa believes passionately that opportunities to participate in sport, arts and culture are critical to develop healthy, balanced children, such as the work done by Zisize in this remote rural community. 5

our can-do containers

One of Breadline Africas most successful enterprises has been 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: community kitchens, serving food to the very poor; day-care centres for children; libraries and media centres in schools; football club changing rooms; health clinics; and ablution blocks for educare centres. Our can-do containers provide affordable, safe, versatile and inexpensive shelter for many projects, and if necessary they can be relocated easily to new locations.

CONTAINER COMMITTEE REPORT

This year, for the first time, we extended our reach and began 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 further afield. 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 thank them on behalf of the many beneficiaries, mostly children, who will benefit from their generosity.

During this past year we provided converted containers to the following projects in the Western Cape:
a container soup kitchen in Gugulethu a container library in Lavender Hill a container ablution block for the Ebantwaneni Educare Centre, Philippi a container classroom for Mothers Unite in Village Heights, Lavender Hill a container day and night centre for Zanokhanyo in Khayelitsha a container for musical training and storage of instruments for the Salesians Trash band a container club house for Dangerous Heroes Football Club in Philippi a container donated by the BBC for a soup kitchen in Eerste River a container for the Phakamani Football Club in Khayelitsha.

case study BBc Box

In 2008 many of you followed the epic tale of the BBC Box, a single shipping container, as it travelled the world serving as a living example of globalisation and international trade. The Box was fitted with a tracking device and its progress could be followed on the Internet. During the 12 months of the project the container travelled from the UK, to China, then to Japan, the United States, Brazil, Singapore, Thailand and back to the UK . During its journey we approached Jeremy Hillman, BBC news editor, to ask if we could use the container for one of our container projects. He responded: Im delighted that this editorial project is now going to have a long term charitable benefit. The BBC containers new, permanent home on dry land where it is destined to help some of those people worst affected by the global recession is a fitting end to our project.In December 2009, the container arrived at its permanent home in South Africa, where renovation work commenced immediately. The Box is now a fully equipped soup kitchen that serves the poor of Kleinvlei in the semi-rural community of Eerste Rivier (First River) outside Cape Town.

Lady Mayoress of London, Claire Anstee, opens the Eerste Rivier soup kitchen

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 were expressed to all who had a hand in bringing the Box to its new home the BBC, NYK and Maersk shipping lines, 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!

case study cans4skills

Following on from the success of our Cans4Skills programme which sees old shipping containers converted into fully equipped mobile classrooms and then used to teach vocational skills, we are continuing with our plans to expand this programme. Our basic plumbing and bricklaying skills training courses lead to a SP 8 qualification and SP 1 (Bricklayer) qualification respectively. The training is conducted in our specially fitted container and lasts for 14 weeks for the plumbing course and 15 weeks for the bricklaying course. The courses are targeted at unemployed young men and women who show interest and aptitude for the trade. We have recently developed a partnership with Northlink College who provide training for our trainers and also certify the courses. Josephs story When the homeless centre that Joseph was living in closed down he spent months living under a tree. Without any family support or money, he was forced to beg and steal to survive. He persevered and managed to find some work doing odd jobs for the buyers of the derelict homeless centre when we approached him to invite him to attend our nearby bricklaying course. Suspicious and hesitant, he asked whats the catch? Now he is renting a room and has a qualified skill and his own set of tools to offer any foreman. 7

online fundraising initiatives

The words social media are currently all the rage it seems as if everyone is Facebook friends or twittering. Well, Breadline Africa has joined the ranks. We are making use of all 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, marked the first time that Breadline Africa utilised mobile technology as a fundraising platform. The prize was a fully paid for meal with one of the four South African celebrities who generously 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 to throw a Geek Fashion Show, featuring some of the top online personalities and bloggers in Cape Town. To ensure the success of this novel event, we integrated our social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to

raise awareness, engage the community and sell tickets. The result was a sold out event with all proceeds going directly to Breadline Africa and our projects. Plus a further 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 have ever received online.

Breadline Africa is striving to reduce its fundraising costs whilst maintaining and growing income for our essential work supporting poor communities in Southern Africa. Through diversification of funding sources and the extra mile that trustees, staff and volunteers have all been putting into fundraising this year, we are seeing an improvement in our income to fundraising cost ratio which we believe we can sustain and continue to improve upon.
