In South Africa, many mothers give birth at their local hospitals without the necessities (nappies, toiletries, clothing) they need to take care of their babies when they\u2019re discharged. In 2002, a group of determined women decided to do something to help these mothers and founded Bless a Baby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2002, together with a team of dedicated volunteers, Judy McCallum and Glynne Rosselli started sewing nappy bags and filling them with baby care essentials. These hand-sewn bags were delivered to underprivileged new mothers so they could take care of their newborns when they returned home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, Bless a Baby delivers these bags to 11 hospitals weekly. \u201cWe\u2019ve been operating for 18 years and to date, we\u2019ve helped 24 530 families\u201d, says Michell Joubert, Bless a Baby\u2019s social media manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bless a Baby is a success thanks to its devoted volunteers, sponsors and donors, as well as the doctors and nurses who volunteer their time, skills and resources. \u201cEveryone has one focus: to do everything we can to help these underprivileged babies\u201d, says Michell. \u201cWe do this every day.
