Giving love and more
3 Jul
Child’s i Foundation is a charity working at grassroots level to help solve the problem of baby abandonment in Uganda, where there are 2 million orphans.
Their work involves setting up a support program to help mothers at risk of abandoning their babies; a transitional home to provide short-term life-saving care to abandoned babies; and a family placement program to ensure every child grows up in a loving family.
The charity was founded by former TV producer Lucy Buck who experienced the pain of having a baby boy die in her arms when she was volunteering at a babies home in Kampala. This drove Lucy to quit her job, move back with her parents and work full time to get Childs i off the ground.
Following two years of hard work the Malakia Babies Home opened it’s doors in May 2010 and is already providing a loving home to nine (at last count) beautiful babies. Child’s i Foundation has used the power of social networks like Facebook, Twitter and You Tube to reach a wider audience and gain the much need support of money, time and love.
So how can the cost of a latte help the amazing work Child’s i Foundation is doing in Uganda?
$3 provides a loving carer for four babies for a whole day!
