The babies of Pivijay in ther old cribs

We are so greatful for your donations.The Childrens Home in Pivijay, a small village in northern Colombia, houses 140 children. Amongst them, 25 babies from vulnerable and at-risk families that cannot care for them properly. However, the home has very few cribs and most of them are old, rusty and a danger to the babies' health, your donation is taking us closer to changing their lives and giving them the best care posible.

We are so greateful for your generosity and we have bought 2 new sets of bedding for the babies. We are working hard to get the resources that will allow us to buy the rest of the cribs, matresses and bedding. We are movilizing our volunteers and encouraging everyone we know to donate, reaching out to donors and social organizations in the region, its been difficult but we wont give up until we can provide the best care for these children. But we need all the help we can get, so we thank you for your donation and we ask you to share this project with your families and friends.

Our project aims to provide new cribs, mattresses and bedding for this vulnerable babies to give them the best chance and a place were thay can sleep and grow. Contributing to the project will not only enable the healthy growth of this 25 babies, during the most important part of their development. It will also mean that the home will have a new, healthy and appropriate space to receive future babies as they come, a better opportunity for the towns next generations.
