About the Project
What is the Baby Pack Project.
The Baby Pack Project is a small charitable project aimed at providing under-privileged mothers of newborn babies on the lower south coast of Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, with a pack of the most basic items needed for a new born baby. The Baby Pack Project came about in 2005 when local lady Gill Richardson, saw newborn babies leave Ntabeni clinic in Kwa Zulu Natal wrapped in newspaper because the mothers had nothing else to wrap them in. The Baby Pack Project has grown out of that small seed of compassion sown by Gill back in 2005.
Each pack contains: a nappy (diaper) and pin
a waterproof (rubber baby pants)
a jumper (sweater or cardigan)
a baby gro
a bib
a vest
booties or socks
a blanket
soap
a little knitted toy
The project was contacted by Margate Child Welfare who heard about the Baby Pack Project and requested baby-packs to distribute to the mothers of newborns in the very poorest regions of the province. We now make up to 30 packs a month for the Margate Child Welfare Department. The Baby Pack Project also continue to supply Margate Parish with baby wear for packs to the Ntabeni clinic.
The items contained in the baby-packs are donated to the Baby Pack Project by supporters from as far away as UK, Ireland, America, Canada, Spain, Switzerland and South Africa. These supporters work tirelessly knitting, crocheting & sewing babywear, cloth nappies, blankets etc and then post them to the Baby Pack Project in Kwa Zulu Natal. Everyone involved in, or associated with, the Baby Pack Project is voluntary and no-one gets paid.
