This sweet baby girl came to live at Neema on Sept 10, 2016. She and her twin, Mary, were born prematurely and have been at the hospital since their birth on June 9th. Unfortunately their mom died and the grandmother has been caring for the babies in the hospital but could not continue. We lose so many moms from complications during childbirth here in Africa. It is so sad for these little ones who lose their moms at the most critical time in their lives. Formula is very expensive and out of the reach of most African families. With no sterile water, no electricity for refrigeration and little medical help out in the villages many of these little motherless ones will not survive. But you can help Neema care for them. Sponsorships start at $30 a month but it costs us $300 per month to keep a baby at Neema. Any amount per month you can help will be greatly appreciated. See how you can help: Sponsor a Baby


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
