Keeping Babies in Families - £8 buys one tin of formula milk
In Tanzania, high maternal mortality rates leave many newborn babies vulnerable, while poverty and lack of support force some families to abandon their babies. Traditionally, orphanages have been used as a solution, but research shows that children thrive best in family-based care.
At Forever Angels, we work to prevent child abandonment by supporting struggling families caring for orphaned babies through our Maisha Matters program. We provide life-saving infant nutrition, caregiver education, and business creation, ensuring relatives can care for their babies rather than resorting to orphanages. Our focus is on keeping children in loving families, where they can grow up safe, healthy, and supported.
Just £8 buys one tin of formula milk for a malnourished baby who has no other nutritional support.
Keeping Babies Healthy - £5 buys a Tub of Peanut Butter
We provide peanut butter as a highly nutritious supplement for malnourished babies and children. It is rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins, helping babies gain weight and recover from malnutrition. Peanut butter is calorie-dense, easy to eat, and does not require refrigeration, making it a practical solution for families with limited resources. By including peanut butter in our Maisha Matters program, we ensure that vulnerable children receive the nourishment they need to grow and thrive.
Just £5 will buy a tin of peanut butter for a malnourished baby.
How you can support Forever Angels UK:
Young People can help Forever Angels in many ways, making a real difference to vulnerable babies and families in Tanzania. They can organize small fundraising events like bake sales, sponsored walks, or school charity days to raise money for life-saving formula milk and nutritional support. They can spread awareness by telling friends and family about Forever Angels and why keeping babies in families is so important. Children can also collect essential items such as baby clothes, blankets, and toys to donate. Every small effort helps give babies a better start in life and supports families to stay together.
