Among the products that make up these kits are: packaging of sanitary napkins, underwear for mothers, blanket, changes of baby clothes, soap bar, cloth diapers, diaper pins, baby soap, baby cream...

    Graças à sua ajuda já conseguimos Kits Parto para 57 mamãs!!!

    Obrigado pela sua importante contribuição para esta campanha!
    Já conseguimos angariar 57 Kits parto para o ano 2024, no Centro de Saúde de Nhampuepua!
    As mães que vivem em realidades de pobreza extrema, e que vão ter os seus bebés entre Janeiro a Março de 2024, têm já os seus Kit Parto garantidos (kits tão básicos, simples e fundamentais que muitas vezes nem imaginamos que é possível que não estejam ao alcance de todos).
    Com este agradecimento segue também um pedido: continuamos a contar com a sua ajuda para dar a conhecer esta realidade/necessidade a outros. Na página do projeto, por baixo do vídeo, existem vários botões que poderão usar para partilhar esta campanha nas redes sociais (p.ex. Facebook e WhatsApp). Ajude-nos a dar a oportunidade a outras pessoas de conhecerem e apoiarem esta causa.
    Bem haja.
