Help Milk Matters by donating breastmilk in excess of your baby's needs for premature babies in hospital ICUs in Cape Town.
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Screened, pasteurised donor breastmilk is life-saving for tiny premature babies when their own mothers cannot supply the breastmilk they need. Healthy breastfeeding mothers in Cape Town and some nearby towns can donate breastmilk and give these babies a better chance of survival. Just 50ml can feed a baby of under 1kg for 24 hours!
