In Indonesia, Uganda and Ethiopia, many mums face a frightening question: will their baby survive?

While many of us in New Zealand are concerned with creating the best environment for our babies to thrive, too many mums around the world are just hoping their babies will survive.

Watch this video to see how the donations of New Zealanders have been helping young families thrive in Indonesia.

In those early years, children born into poverty are at far greater risk of disease and malnutrition. Too often, mothers are left without the care and services they need, watching helplessly as their babies become critically unwell. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. Together with our partner Compassion, you can help provide vulnerable mums with the care and support they need during their baby’s first precious year. 

Through your support, we are now able to access good medical care, receive monthly nutritional supplements, and benefit from important health related trainings. I am confident that with your continued support, my baby will have a bright future.

These provide a regular touch point and are a great mental health check-in for mums.

If I hadn't participated in the project, my life would have been much harder. I really feel the benefits of being part of this group. Without them, I would not have enough food to feed my babies or resources to buy clean water.
