 As a part of SMI's Safe Motherhood Project to assist mothers and babies, the organization will be donating 'Box of Love' to rural women inAfrica, particularly, new and expectant mothers living in remote communities in Africa.
'Box of Love' for expectant mothers and babies contains baby items, clothing, toiletries, nappies, shoes , toys, and personal hygiene products. These items will go to improving the well being of mothers and child.
Individuals could make up their own 'Boxes of Love' and donate or you may wish to donate goods for SMI volunteers to make up the box. These boxes of love will then be transported to rural communities, health centers and hospitals for distribution to new and expectant mothers.
Those who donate will receive a certificate of appreciation from Sweet Mother International. Also, a picture and list of hospitals and communities that have benefited from your 'Box of Love' donation will be sent to you as a mark of appreciation.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
 John Nze-Bertram President, Sweet Mother International Member, African Union ECOSOCC General Assembly |  “It is the tasks connected with the home that are the fundamental tasks of humanity….If the mother does not make her contribution, there will either be no next generation, or a next generation that is worse than none at all." Theodore Roosevelt 26th President of the United States |  "Study
after study has shown that there is no effective development strategy
in which women do not play a central role. When women are fully
involved, the benefits can be seen immediately: families are healthier
and better fed; their income, savings and reinvestment go up. And what
is true of families is also true of communities and, in the long run, of
whole countries." UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, March 8, 2003 |
