The South African Breastmilk Reserve is calling for more mothers to step forward and donate breast milk, to help save the lives of vulnerable newborns.
The organisation says donated breast milk plays a critical role in protecting babies from infections and supporting healthy growth and development.
For infants whose mothers are unable to breastfeed, donor milk can be a lifeline.
As demand continues to grow, the Reserve’s Executive Director Staša Jordan says greater public awareness and support is urgently needed.
“Our largest impact are the 4 000 infants that we support to exclusively breastfeed in the neonatal stage in public hospitals. Only 10% are in the private health system. Therefore, we urge donors to come forward to contribute to a good cause.”
