More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Poverty can lead mothers to abandon their babies. Parental rights are removed as alcohol or drugs bring neglect for the children. When babies and young children need hospital care their mothers stay with them - but when you have no mother you have no one to care for you, or ensure that your clothes, nappies and medicines are not taken by others. With increasing numbers being abandoned, your support can allow two nurses in Dniprodzerhynzsk to be “mothers” and guardians.

Activities

Abandoned babies will receive love and protection whilst in hospital. With city finances being inadequate provision of food, clothing and hygiene products will also be provided - who else will care for these forgotten little lives?

Funding Information

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Protection and love brings immediate care and gives hope of better future prospects for the abandoned. Our work extends to seeking to reunite the baby, once healthy, with their parents. Giving a family a new start can truly transform lives.

Project Message

No baby should be unloved. Without this project that is exactly what will happen to those who are abandoned in this poverty-stricken city. Only your help can bring love and protection

Latest Update from the Field

35 Babies Have Been Cared For Thanks To Your Donations

By Martin Wilcox - Charity Manager, June 03, 2010 02:21 PM

In the last 6 months 35 babies have come under the care of our nurse in the Children’s Hospital in Dniprodzerzhynsk. Each of these are abandoned or taken from their parents who have been unable to care for their child (due to poverty, drugs or alcohol abuse). Many children and VERY unwell and none have received any care or affection.

One young girl, aged 19, has now had 4 babies with her 16 year old boyfriend. Each one has come into the hospital as she is unable to care for her new babies. These babies deserve the same love, affection and protection as any baby – but if it were not for your gifts and our support they would never get it.
