About us
Breadline Africa is a UK-registered, South African-based charity that aims to break the cycle of poverty – by helping
communities to help themselves. At Breadline Africa we believe that children and young people hold the future in their hands.
To provide Africa’s children with a brighter future, we concentrate on this sector of the community.
We also have our highly successful container programme in which we convert old shipping containers into vital community
structures. The portable, versatile and secure recycled containers are a lifeline to many struggling communities, where
they provide instant and vital infrastructure. The containers are put to use through the creation of sustainable projects. The
renovated containers are used as community kitchens to serve food to the very poor, educare centres for children, libraries
and media centres in schools, sports club changing rooms, health clinics and ablution blocks. Since 1993, we have
recycled, refurbished and placed more than 175 of these containers in poor communities throughout Southern Africa.
At Breadline Africa, we carefully select projects staffed and run by local communities, with a reasonable chance of longterm sustainability, that would struggle to find other funding.
We view traditional donations as investments into communities and the lives of indidividuals. We give a hand up not just a
hand out.

chairperson’s Statement
This past year has seen Breadline Africa develop a very
successful relationship with the Nelson Mandela Centre
of Memory providing container libraries for primary
schools in deprived areas throughout South Africa. This
project is going from strength to strength and reflects our
strategy of working with strategic partners and focusing
on educational projects. This project has attracted funding
from a number of corporate donors in South Africa and in
the UK (see page 4 for more details).
The trustees visited many educational and training projects
during their visit. There is overwhelming evidence to show
that children who receive Early Childhood Development
educational support are far more likely to remain at school
until secondary level and gain their matriculation exam
which is so vital to gain employment. The trustees felt that
this was an excellent area for Breadline Africa to focus
on since it provides vital early educational support, safety
and nutrition to thousands of children. These centres also
provide training and employment for local women.
Against the backdrop of continuing economic uncertainty,
Breadline Africa has continued to raise substantial sums of
money which is a testament to the loyalty and generosity of
our donors. This year we funded 29 projects, focusing on
children and young people throughout South Africa as well
as Namibia, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
Given the very high unemployment rates among young
people combined with a dire skills shortage, skills training
seemed another obvious area for Breadline Africa to focus
on as this is strongly in keeping with Breadline Africa’s
philosophy of “helping people to help themselves”.
In October 2011 the international trustees and Breadline
Africa country committee members, along with local expert
advisors, met in Cape Town for a productive week of
meetings and project visits to decide upon our strategy
for the next three years. As always, I was inspired and
humbled by the incredible optimism and achievements of
remarkable individuals running projects in the most difficult
and challenging of circumstances. I wish you could see the
happiness and appreciation on the faces of the children
and young people who are benefiting from the projects
you have funded. A huge thank you to all our donors who
have made a significant difference to the lives of so many
children and young people.
I would like to thank our wonderful dedicated small teams
of staff in both Cape Town and Ipswich, under the able
leadership of our Director, Tim Smith, who achieve an
enormous amount with very limited resources. I would
also like to acknowledge the huge contribution made by
our many wonderful volunteer advisors with a particular
mention for Hugh Winter who has given an enormous
amount of advice and support over the years. Hugh has
just stepped down as the Chairman of the RSA Advisory
Committee as he has moved to a new post in China.
He has generously agreed to remain on the Advisory
Committee so we will continue to benefit from his wise
counsel. Thank you Hugh.
Our aim is to provide the most efficient and effective
service possible to the people we are trying to help. We
are constantly trying to reduce our costs and increase our
impact. The team in Cape Town has been restructured into
three strategic areas of marketing, finance and programme
management. Next year will continue to be a challenge
but with the strategic decisions which have been taken
and the management restructuring undertaken last year,
I am confident that Tim Smith and his team will be in a
strong position to reap the long term benefits on behalf of
thousands of vulnerable children and young people.

Director’s Report
The room was hot and the
temperature stifling. I was sitting in
a room in Windhoek, capital of
Namibia, with a group of children
and a facilitator. There were about
twenty of them, from ages 11
up to about 16, nearly all HIV
positive, and their sharing of life was
impressive. One little girl had the task
of presenting her Body map. The
body map is a drawing of oneself
with all the aspects of one’s life inside and around it. She did
this and then explained what each part meant. She had lost
her mother and so was living with her father, and there was
tension between her and the father’s new girlfriend which was
not pleasant. She also had a brother who was not living with
them but with an aunt, and who was treated appallingly by the
aunt and her husband. She wanted to grow wings and had
ambitions to become a doctor! They played some games and
then discussed issues of concern to them, such as gossiping,
stigma, the problems of getting their medication during the
holidays, and so on. Their articulation of their situation was
amazing.
Breadline Africa supports a programme in Namibia called
Positive Vibes, which among many other things runs Children’s
Action Groups. These groups encourage children to express
themselves and to engage with each other and with other adults
about the huge issues in their young lives. Many children in
Africa face enormous challenges which are caused by so many
factors: disease and death of parents due to HIV and AIDS,
neglect and abuse by family members, and the ever-present
burden of poverty. Positive Vibes creates small circles of hope
for these children and enabling mechanisms which help them to
overcome these problems
and thrive.
Throughout this year Breadline
Africa has been privileged to
be part of so many efforts to
make the lives of children better
in southern Africa. We have
continued our focus on early
childhood development, funding programmes in Namibia, the
Eastern Cape and Limpopo which focus on children at that
important stage of life. We have increased our involvement
2
in setting up children’s libraries, with the Nelson Mandela
Centre of Memory. So far this project has created 18 new
libraries for children, with more in the pipeline for 2013. We
have continued our very popular container project, supplying
containers converted into classrooms, kitchens and toilets. We
have re-started our Cans4Skills programme, training unemployed
young people in basic mechanical engineering skills. We have
visited schools with our “Spread-the-Bread” campaign and
handed out soup on National Soup Day.
In October last year, our trustees from the United Kingdom, the
Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands came to undertake their
tri-annual visit. We made sure that they saw as many projects
as they could, and for three days we transported them from one
project to another. Then they had two days of meetings and a
reception at the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, where the
guest of honour was the Premier of the province Ms Helen Zille.
After their final meeting,
some of them undertook
further visits, travelling
along the southern Cape
and into the Eastern Cape
as far as Mthatha, to see
a new library opened and
to visit projects funded by
Breadline Africa.
None of this would have been possible without our loyal and
faithful donors. Many of you have been with us for many years,
contributing regularly and selflessly despite the recession and the
current difficult times. Sometimes we are fortunate to meet with
some of you when you come to our offices in Cape Town. But
the vast majority of you we will never meet, except through the
mail and telephone, and so we take this opportunity of saying
thank you. When we say it we do so on behalf of the thousands
of children and young people, for whom you have created a
better life through Breadline Africa.

Director
container committee report
One of Breadline Africa’s most successful enterprises has been its
provision of renovated shipping containers for various uses. Since
1993, Breadline Africa has provided over 175 containers to
poverty-stricken communities across South Africa.
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.
This year we continued our collaboration with the Nelson
Mandela Centre of Memory, which will see us place an
additional 13 container libraries in some on the poorest schools
in South Africa. (see page 4 for details).
During this past year we also raised funds to provide converted
containers to the following projects:
Western Cape
• A container classroom for Scherpenheuwel Primary School
in Villiersdorp
A
• container soup kitchen for Blue Downs in Ebantwaneni
• A double container classroom and kitchen for Khulanathi
Educare Centre in Philippi
• A container ablution block for Let the Hungry be Fed
project in Paarl
• A physiotherapy container room for Joy Educare Centre,
Mitchells Plain
Eastern Cape
• A container classroom and community centre in Lady Frere

Mandela Day Libraries
In our last annual review, we told you about our hugely
successful Mandela Day Library campaign in partnership with
the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory (previously known
as the Nelson Mandela Foundation) and how our initial plan
to put one school container library in every province of the
country grew beyond anything we could imagine. We had
such fantastic responses from so many that we keep converting,
equipping and installing new libraries!
Four libraries were opened near the end of 2011. The library
at Mid-Ennerdale Primary School in Gauteng was opened on
23 September 2011. Nobuntu Senior Primary School container
libary in Dimbaza in the Eastern Cape was officially opened on
30 September 2011. Libraries at Qunu Junior School in Qunu
and Nkwenkwezi Junior School in Mvezo also in the Eastern
Cape where Nelson Mandela grew up were opened on 21
October 2011. Breadline Africa chairperson Louise Seligman
and Pippa and Tony Smyth, board members, along with Tim
Smith Director, attended this opening.
It’s a special joy to go to the opening of these libraries. Each one
is different – sometimes there is singing and dancing, the school
or community band plays, local ministers say heartfelt prayers
of thanks. It’s always a moving moment, and one thing all these
ceremonies have in common is the excitement and pride on the
faces of the learners and their teachers.
In 2012 it was decided to increase the target of Mandela Day
Libraries placed to 20 for the year. So far we have placed the
following libraries:
Monday 6th August 2012 saw the opening of the first of the
new Mandela Container Libraries for 2012 at Vuyani Primary
School in Guguletu, a well-known township outside of Cape
Town. The guest of honour was Mrs Mary Robinson, fomer
President of Ireland and former UN Commissioner for Human
Rights. There were brief speeches from Help2Read and Unako,
groups which promote literacy and reading for children, then
from Breadline Africa and from the CEO of the Macquarie
Group, Mr James Mason. Macquarie sponsored the container
library through their foundation.
The second library for this year was opened in Meadowlands,
Soweto on Wednesday 8 August 2012. It was also officially
opened by Mrs Robinson who shared her thoughts on how
it was vital that every child learns to read and loves to read.
4
She expressed her excitement at seeing the support coming
from the teachers as well as all the partners who helped to
build the library. This container was sponsored by Grandmark
International. The special relationship that Grandmark already
has with the school will ensure that the library is monitored and
fully utilised.
Thursday 6 September saw the opening of the 16th Mandela
Day Library (the third one of 2012) at the Parkdene Primary
School in Kraaifontein, Western Cape. This library was the first
of three to be funded by the 466/64 Fashion Brand, which is
associated closely with the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory
Thanks were extended to Magic Boxes who converted the
container, AVUSA, Pick n Pay and Equal Education who had
supported the project with the provision and sorting of books,
Help2Read and other partners who helped with literacy.
Friday 7 September marked the 17th Mandela Day Library
opening at Lulekani Primary School in the rural community of
Lulekani, near Phalaborwa, Limpopo Province, the fourth for
2012. This library was sponsored by the Public Investment
Corporation. Books were donated by Room to Read, AVUSA
Education and many also came from the Pick n Pay book drive.
On Thursday 18 October, the 18th Mandela Day Library (the
fifth for 2012) was opened with great exuberance and joy
in a small village outside Dannhauser in the KwaZulu-Natal
midlands. The School, Mandlamasha Combined School, was
chosen because of its strong history, a determined principal and
the presence of a Soul Buddyz club which will ensure that the
library is well used. This library was the second to be sponsored
by the 466/64 Fashion Brand, through the Nelson Mandela
Centre of Memory. Books which had been collected through
the Pick n Pay national book drive were brought from both
Johannesburg and Ladysmith to filll the new library.
Two containers were recently converted, delivered to schools
and are already in use at MC Weiler Primary School in
Alexandra, Gauteng and Montshiwa Primay School in the
Northern Cape. These libraries are scheduled to be launched in
November. Current plans are in place for a further 6 at: Fairfield
Primary School, Tandabantu Senior Primary School and Imfolozi
Primary School all in the Eastern Cape, Ekwaluseni High
School in Kwazulu-Natal, Mitchell Heights Primary School in the
Western Cape, Kebinelang Middle School in the North West
and Amandla Primary School in Mpumalanga.
Librarian Training
The first basic librarian training for the Mandela Day Library
initiative took place from 2 to 4 October. The two trainings,
running concurrently in Johannesburg and Cape Town were
facilitated by Macmillan Teacher Campus for a total of 22
librarians from all the Mandela Day Libraries.
Many of the librarians are teachers or community members who
have been appointed as the librarian by the schools without any
formal training or understanding of how to manage the library.
The aim of the training was to share skills with the participants
to ensure proper management and sustainability of the libraries.
Most importantly, the training will assist with monitoring and
reporting on use of the libraries.
The training was supported by LegalWise who paid for the
travel as well as accommodation for all the participants.
Macmillan provided the training and material pro bono.
A spin-off of the training was the networks established by the
various schools. The participants left the training with much more
confidence in their abilities to run their designated libraries.

Khulanathi Educare Centre
Khulanathi (“grow with us”) Educare Centre, in an extremely poor part of the sprawling informal settlement of Philippi, was
facing a desperate situation. We wrote to our donors to ask for help in supplying a container toilet block, as the little children
attending the single shack nursery-school had no lavatory facilities whatsoever – they were forced to relieve themselves outside
or use buckets. A hygienic toilet facility is critical, given how easily outbreaks of diarrhoea spread, and how many poor
children’s lives are lost to this preventable disease.
We’ll never forget the community workers, Goodman James and Pastor Joy Kilumeshe, who told us, with great dignity and
pain, of the many times visitors to this little school had promised help – and were never heard of again.
Well, this story has a happy ending. First of all, our donors gave so generously that we were able to supply the toilet block
these little ones needed so badly. But there was more to come! The Van Dedem Stichting was so moved by their plight, they
decided to replace the rickety shack with an entire educare centre: so as well as the hygienic ablution block supplied, there
are now two brand-new container classrooms and a kitchen for preparing much-needed meals.
The new Khulanathi containers were officially opened on 18 July 2012 – Nelson Mandela’s 94th birthday, and also the date
the United Nations has designated International Mandela Day.

Blue Downs Container Soup Kitchen
The opening ceremony for the Blue Downs Container Soup
Kitchen in Ebantwaneni, took place on 14 February 2012.
Pastor Mervin and his wife (also a pastor) started the feeding
scheme twenty two years ago and it had grown enormously,
so that they are feeding about 400 people per week. He
said, people asked him, “Why do you give people food
parcels?” I was so moved at that question that I answered,
“If you see the hurt in people’s eyes and that they are hungry,
how you can turn a blind eye? When you feed a child you
feed a nation, when you educate a child you educate a
nation, and that is my belief.”
The 12-metre container has one end fitted as a kitchen and
the other end has been left open as a feeding area with
chairs and tables. For the opening ceremony, Breadline
Africa also donated 100 food parcels as a gift to the poor
on this happy occasion, which were packed by Pastor
Mervin and his team.
cans4skills
This year we started a partnership with City Mission
Educational Services (CMES), who offer a 4 month
Mechanical Engineering skills training course which began in
August 2012 for 60 students.
CMES provides the platform for the training, administers
and coordinates the programme, SETA ensures the course
is assessed and accredited. Breadline Africa through our
Cans4Skills programme provided funding for the manuals,
tools/material, the facilitator and the setting up of the
workbenches and the administration costs.
groups and youth groups. Athlone is a community that has
various social problems plagued with violence, drugs and
gangsterism. It is hoped that the course will contribute to
increased empowerment of individuals and the upliftment
of the community. The course trains individuals in specific
skills that will generate an enterprising work style. This is in
keeping with South Africa’s drive to encourage individuals/
communities to become self-sustainable, self-employed
and independent individuals who are able to support and
maintain their livelihoods.
The course took place in Athlone and all the participants
were selected from the surrounding areas. Everyone who
applied received a place on the course. This was a
generic course as all the principles relate to any artisan
trade followed. The course exposed the learners to the use
of various tools and equipment/material, health and safety
in the workplace, understanding and interpreting technical
drawings and instructions and various other aspects relating
to the job of an artisan. This is a NQF 2 level or Grade 12
equivalent (Grade 10).
This is a community outreach project and so the participants
were recruited through partners and groups such as women

Trustee visit and reception
In October 2011, members of our International Board,
Chaiperson Louise Seligman, Alex Chisholm, Sir Robert
Dunbar, Benedict Elwes, Renée Hopster, Pippa and Tony
Smyth, together with members from our country advisory
committees, Angelique Bell from Ireland and Nancy van
Bilsen and Marijke Schep from the Netherlands, visited
South Africa to hold their AGM in our midst and see the
work for themselves
The first three days were packed with visits to the dusty
townships that surround Cape Town and the rural areas
further away. The trustees were extremely interested to see
the physical results of hard work and a LOT of help from
generous donors and local communities. It was especially
moving seeing the little nursery schools that often grew from
a kind woman’s impulse to welcome small children into her
humble shack.
Project visited included:
• The Shine Centre, Prestwich Primary School, Green Point
• Weltevreden Community Development Centre (CWD),
Samora Machel
• Tafelsig Community Development Centre (CWD), Tafelsig,
Mitchells Plain
• Mamelani Project , Khayelitsha
• Garden Container Shed Project, Lavender Hill
• Hillcrest Primary School Mandela Day Library, Wellington
• Let the Hungry Be Fed Soup Kitchen, Paarl
• Mbekweni Community Development Centre (CWD), Paarl
• House of Grace Foster Care Home, Kliphuwel
• Wallacedene Educare Center, Paarl
• Ulwazi Educare Centre, Delft
• Khuti’s Special Needs Centre, Khayelitsha
• Zukolwethu Educare Centre, Khayelitsha
• Zenzele Skills Training Centre, Khayelitsha
On Thursday 13 October, a reception was held by Breadline
Africa at the fabled Castle, the oldest building in Cape Town,
to welcome the Trustees and to celebrate Breadline Africa’s
successful partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
The guest speak Premier Helen Zille began her speech by
saying how proud she was that we as an NGO would host
an event to say thank you.
Then it was time to knuckle down to assess the past and
prepare for the future – a challenge for all those raising funds
in a global recession. More and more information suggests
that our decision to focus on children, and especially on early
8
learning, is absolutely vital. Of South Africa’s children, a
shocking 60% live in poverty, with education their only hope
of a way out. Yet the majority of children have no access to
any kind of early learning experience, such as nursery-schools
or preschools. This as new research shows that strong early
learning experiences provide a critical foundation for literacy
and numeracy later on. So many children are being left
behind at the starting line – or not even making it to that line
in the first place.
Meanwhile, the small percentage that do get to preschools
may not be so lucky. Of the 24 000 preschools in South
Africa, only 5% meet the standards for excellence, while 40%
simply do not provide any kind of early learning experience
– they are essentially baby-sitting services, with carers rather
than teachers, who simply watch the little ones.
An interesting study shows that teenagers who had some sort
of early learning experience are less likely to take drugs, turn
to crime or fall pregnant – and their chances of finding a
job rise. And it’s clear that investment in this area has huge
benefits for society and the economy.
SPECIAL EVENTS
National Soup Day
This year, winter was unusually cold and wet, we even had snow, so we
really got behind two campaigns to try and fill little tummies. We know
that hungry children can’t learn, and we’re also sadly familiar with the
shocking statistics – one in every five South African children will suffer
stunted growth because of malnutrition. To try and make a difference, on
National Soup Day (31 May), we headed to Hillwood Primary School
in the Cape Flats, where we were able to give over a thousand children
a cup of comforting soup with bread. Next stop was Prestwich Primary,
where nearly 800 children got something hot to eat and drink.
Spread-the-Bread Campaign
This campaign saw us heading out over the winter months with a
specially adapted container to deliver sandwiches to schools and
educare centres on Wednesdays in and around Cape Town. This
started as one of our Mandela Day projects (when the nation does
67 minutes of community service to thank the great man for his
years of service). We would like to thank Spar in Elsie’s River, on the
Cape Flats, which generously donated the bread. At the end of the
campaign the soup kitchen container will be given a home at project
to be selected by our Container Committee.
Women’s Day
We celebrated Women’s Day this year by hosting a lunch at our
offices on 8 August for all the dedicated teachers at the various
educare centres, some of whom you have met and that we support.
Over forty dedicated teachers attended. It was a wonderful
opportunity to thank them for the stalwart work they do. Our special
guest speaker was Councillor Beverley Cortje-Alcok, from the Mayoral
Committee on Social and Early Childhood Development.
Comedy Show
This year saw us host our third annual comedy show on 15 August
2012. Popular South African comedians Nik Rabinowitz and Mark
Lottering performed free of charge, and tickets were sold out a month
before the event! All monies raised will go towards talking the children
of Tulbagh on a seaside outing in December.
