Many togolese women are not able to breastfeed their children, for various reasons. It might be that they do not have enough milk, that they are HIV positive, or in the worst case they died during labour.
Unfortunately, milk powder is very expensive in Togo, and a child needs a lot of it, to have a healthy nutrition during the very important first six months of its life.

Therefore, this project aims to provide ten children, five each between the age of 0 and 3, and 4 and 6 months, with milk powder. The price for both types of milk is the same, the amount rises with the age of the infant.

We ask for your support of this project because we think that the lack of financial means should never decide a newborn's destiny.

  I have also been an international volunteer volunteering for PDH Togo. I can agree with all the things that have allrady been said. PDH Togo is a small scale based local NGO that works extremely hard to help the people in need in Togo. The milk project is just one of the many project that PDH togo does. The milk project is very important though, to make sure babys receive sufficient food. I helped to distribute the powder milk to the mothers or caretakers of the babies and I can assure that the small gift of a packet of powder milk makes such a big positive difference in the life of the babies and the mothers or caretakers of the babies.
