Hey everyone!
In this report we bring you a beautiful photo of baby James (not his real name) taken at the shelter and I (for those who have not seen me before), so that you can have a glimpse of some of the beautiful, bundles of joy that you support everyday.
Our babies were not born out of the expected happy circumstances. As you already know by now, some of the girls rescued have gone through sexual abuse and exploitation and could well find themselves pregnant by the time of rescue. When we started out we did not know that we would also welcome babies from time to time.
So far, because of your support we have assisted 15 babies since 2012. If it were not for you, these babies would not enjoy the care and support they receive at the shelter. Thank you for supporting our babies with clothing, diapers, food, pre-natal care, post-natal care/treatment, shelter and a loving and caring environment to mention a few.
I always salute our young mothers because of their courage in choosing to keep their babies and even loving them unconditionally inspite of the circumstances under which they were conceived. Of course we have had a few cases of adoption where the girls were compelled by cultural taboos from keeping their babies, this is especially where girls were raped or had sex with partners they did not know were their relatives. Some communities see this as a taboo and treat such girls as outcasts!
Would you like to continue supporting our babies?
