Needy children and disadvantaged families in need of formula milk

Bongani Isibusiso Edible Training and Development is urging residents to donate formula milk and other essentials to hospital patients.

The hospital provides formula milk to specific patients including: mothers who are medically or mentally unfit to breastfeed, mothers on treatment contraindicated for breastfeeding, orphaned or abandoned babies or when the mother defaulted on second or third-line ARV’s.

If a mother does not fall under the mentioned criteria to receive formula milk, the matter becomes a social issue.

Social worker, Bongani, is urging residents to donate milk to the vulnerable patients.

The following items are desperately needed:

Cooking oil, rice, salt, soups, maize porridge, powdered milk, baby wipes, formula milk (infant feeding, pre-NAN pelargon 1 -3, Lactogen 1 – 4), feeding bottles, clothing from ages 0 – 18 months for all genders, maternity pads and other sanitary products, baby creams, toys/teddy bears, and baby talcum powder.

Anyone who wishes to donate any of the above mentioned can contact Bongani on 071 178 8845.
