Dozens of Diapers
The need for diapers in impoverished countries is
tremendous, especially at orphanages. For example, we know of one
orphanage that uses 9,600 diapers per month.
Disposable diapers are financially out of reach, not to mention the
negative environmental and health impact they have on these countries.
For many orphanages, the solution is to leave the babies without
diapers. However this causes unsanitary conditions for both the baby and
the orphanage. Through our ministry, Dozens of Diapers, TLOT donates
cloth diapers to orphanages in Haiti, India, Portugal, and Asia.
You can help us by sewing cloth diapers using our simple
pattern:

like-the need is continual.

donate the diapers, mail them to The Least of These,
1225 Providence Road, PMB 129, Whitinsville, MA 01588. |
