What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Program Overview

In the world, where we produce enough food to feed everyone, there are 257 million people in Africa that are still experiencing extreme hunger. Lack of access to sufficient food is truly devastating to children, families, and entire communities across Africa.

Extreme hunger remains a barrier to sustainable development and creates a trap from which people cannot easily escape. Hunger means less productive individuals, who are more prone to disease and thus often unable to earn more and improve their livelihoods.

Bread of Life International is on a mission to end the hunger crises one African town at a time. We feed the poor and needy infants, children, families, and vulnerable people that are experiencing crises or extreme hardship to feed themselves through community outreach, family food initiatives, and disaster response.

Population(s) Served

This is our flagship program and we collaborate with our local partners to reach out to specific impoverished communities and provide free hot meals and drinks to poor infants, homeless children and street children, poor families, and vulnerable people that are experiencing crises or extreme hardship to feed themselves or families that may have difficulty providing sufficient food for their children.

Population(s) Served

Bread of Life International collaborate with local partners and leaders to identify poor families within impoverished communities that are experiencing crises or extreme hardship and may have difficulty caring adequately for their children. We provide donated and assorted pre-boxed and or pre-bagged food items from local markets, while also enabling them to make their own choices about their most urgent needs.

Population(s) Served

The Mobile Food Outreach Program serves the poor, needy, and vulnerable children and people in hard-to-reach impoverished areas. Through a Mobile Food Outreach Program, a truckload of food goes to the hard-to-reach areas to distribute pre-packed boxes of hot meals or products including meat, produced, baked goods, perishable food items such as rice, wheat, maize, poultry to the needy and vulnerable more quickly and flexible.

Population(s) Served

From droughts to floods and famine, food is often the most immediate need. When everyday access to food is destroyed in the wake of emergencies, a response to disaster requires for effective partnership, capacity strengthening and resource collaboration among all partners for effective measures towards prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Bread of Life International works with local partners and community leaders to address these needs. We strive to ensure food is efficiently and effectively distributed to people affected by natural and man-made disasters when it is needed most.
