BREASTMILK for infants in South Africa
Illustration by Mischa Lee
Nothing is more natural than breastfeeding. Women have been doing it in every corner of the world for thousands of years. But just because breastfeeding is natural, doesn’t mean it is always easy. Where it is not possible for the biological mother to breastfeed, the first alternative, if available, should be the use of human breast milk from other sources. International Breast Milk Project is an international humanitarian aid organization, dedicated to providing life-giving donor milk to infants in emergent need. One of our primary goals is to provide immediate relief for infants in South Africa, where an estimated 1.4 million children were orphaned due to HIV/AIDS in 2007. International Breast Milk Project is a federally registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
