Making a Big Impact in a Small Place
The word philanthropy literally means “the practical expression of love towards humanity”; this definition encapsulates exactly what we’re hoping to do through the work of the trust, showing God’s love to people in a practical way through financial and prayer support.
BREAD raises funds and makes grants to projects in the village of Berega, Tanzania. It ia small rural village about halfway between Morogoro and Dodoma. Although it is small, it has important institutions that serve the surrounding district:
- A hospital, with an associated health college, training medical officers, nurses and pharmacists;
- A primary and secondary school, with around 400 students;
- An orphanage that looks after children with no parents, until their wider families are able to cope with them.
All these projects are run in conjunction with the Diocese of Morogoro, though Bread also makes occasional grants to other village institutions.
Bread was founded in 2001 to help address the needs of people living in Berega, Tanzania. Since its foundation it has given over £300,000 to projects in the village. Currently we are working to provide a better, and more reliable water supply.
The charity is run by a group of volunteer trustees, all of whom have some kind of connection to Berega.
