Dear friends,
Poverty should never be the reason babies can't be with their mommies. There should be enough support, enough encouragement, enough real development to keep the mommies coping.
We do this by building a community around our families, a place where the 3 C's of Community can be actioned: Comfort, Connection, Contribution.
Healing happens in relationship and it starts first by building trust through offering comfort and meeting the most desperate needs. A simple plate of food and a dignified interaction helps the day start well. Then going into sessions where we work to build relationships, parenting skills, self-worth and a plan of action we find the mommies delighting in every moment of their time with us.
Over time we aim to build gateways to opportunities for employment and income generation and so help sustain the families and keep them from the brink of catastrophe.
We are so thankful for the support we receive and look forward to sharing some of the personal stories that help demonstrate the incredibly deep and positive impact this work is having in building the world we want to live in.
