Donate Breast Milk. There are orphans, as well as premature and sick babies, around the globe whose lives are in great peril due to lack of nutrition. Many of these babies are children of mothers with HIV. One of the greatest gifts a healthy nursing mother can do is to share her breast milk with these malnourished babies. For many – it is the difference between life and death.

Learn More About Donating Your Breast Milk

There are a number of wonderful programs that help coordinate the distribution of breast milk locally, and to countries throughout Africa.  Even though it does require the nursing mother to undergo blood tests and other screening – that is a minor inconvenience compared to the benefits the babies will receive from the vital nutrients. Here is a little more information for those of you who are interested:
