In 2002, we heard about babies leaving a local hospital without necessities like nappies, clothing or basic toiletries – even to the point of a baby going home in a plastic shopping bag! So a group of ladies in our congregation rose to the challenge and began sewing beautiful nappy bags and quilts, filling them with the essentials. By mid-2018 they had distributed over 13 000 bags in all shapes, sizes and colours, both locally (Karl Bremer, Kraaifontein, Tygerberg, Wesfleur, Paarl, Mowbray and Durbanville clinic) as well as further afield to communities in need in places like Botswana, Kenya, Malawi and Swaziland. One baby and one mother at a time – providing some form of rescue from an unfair and unjust start to life.
