It is wonderful to hear such positive feedback from the teachers and principals we have supported. We wanted to share these beautiful words from Principal Constance Mpanza of Siwelile Primary School in KwaZulu-Natal, whose dilapidated pit toilets were replaced with new flushing toilet facilities, thanks to the generous support of @OldMutualSA :
"On behalf of the entire staff, student and governing body here at Siwelile Primary School, I want to express our deepest gratitude to our sponsors today, Old Mutual and Breadline Africa. Thanks to your incredible generosity, our school has undergone a significant transformation.
For too long, our students had to make do with outdated and unsanitary toilet facilities. These new flushing toilets represent a major leap forward in terms of hygiene and dignity for everyone at our school.
This is especially important for our students, many of whom come from challenging backgrounds. We are a Quantile 3 school, and a significant number of our students come from child-headed households or families struggling with unemployment. Your investment in our school shows that you care about their well-being and their education.
We are truly happy and overwhelmed by your generosity. These new toilets will make a real difference in the lives of our students, and we are incredibly grateful for your support."

This Youth Day, we reflect on what brave students fought for nearly half a century ago—the right to equal education in their own home language. Today, less than 15% of SA schools have a functioning library, and even fewer have language-appropriate books for their learners.
This week, thanks to the support of our donors, Breadline Africa handed over a beautiful new school library to the learners and teachers at Bonga Lower Primary in Gugulethu, filled with wonderful storybooks in the learners' home languages.
We could not have achieved this without the support of our donors: James and @colinbloom_ from Libraries for Literacy, Bridge-Ed, and the fundraising efforts of @francoisvancoke , @rustenburggirls , , Ken Ritchie, and @carriealderley .

Celebrating 10 years of Menstrual Hygiene Day! 💪
At Breadline Africa, we are committed to creating a better environment for young women. By replacing pit toilets with flushing facilities in schools, we significantly improve conditions for girls, especially during menstruation. This essential upgrade reduces absenteeism and supports their education. Additionally, we provide reusable sanitary pads to all girls in these schools.
Menstrual Hygiene Day aims to break taboos surrounding menstruation and raise awareness of the importance of good menstrual hygiene management worldwide. Together, we’re building a brighter, healthier future for our young women. 🌸
