8 babies who were abused, abandoned or neglected have been placed in loving and safe homes so far.
Countless new baby packs have been given away, including ongoing packs to the moms who come to hospital with absolutely nothing. Thanks to Baby Safe they now go home with the essentials, including a booklet on Infant Care and Baby Safe contact details.
Baby Safe is preventing baby dumping by connecting with the pregnant women before they give birth or immediately after. Over 125 pregnant women and brand new mothers have been served, including a dozen women scheduled for abortions who have changed their minds and decided to keep their babies or make an adoption plan.
Another baby safe has been installed in Jeffreys Bay and and a couple in the works for East London and Somerset West and one in Nambia, inspired by Baby Safe.
Intervening with neglected babies, supporting pregnant women, and empowering new mothers…Baby Safe is offering life, hope, and options. That kind of sounds like a commercial : ). Its not…just my every day and my joy. Are you interested in helping Baby Safe continue, grow, and save more lives? YOU ARE NEEDED Email me!!-bethany@thebabysafe.org |

What is the chances of such a safe in Johannesburg as we often hear of babies being drop at this or that lake or in this or that dustbin. My heart goes out to the mothers and the babies because through what hell must a mother go to resort to such drastic measures? Does this mother have no friends or support system?
Im a single 28 year old mother with 3 boys aged 6, 5 and 2 and I receive a VERY small salary and because of my support system I can wake up with a smile in the morning with my 3 boys. I dont receive any grant from the state or maintance from
their father but made a promise to God to provide for the 3 gifts that he entrusted me with.
Also, if there is anything that I can help anyone in the Eart Rand area with, please feel free to contact me on 072 421 5634 – even if its just praying with someone.
Regards.
