The Grace Factory makes a massive difference to mothers in need; they hand out bags filled with essentials to new moms at government hospitals – Now they are setting their sights on the KZN!
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (26 June 2023) – The Grace Factory, an NPO that gives practical assistance to moms and babies in need during the first few weeks of motherhood and infancy, stresses the importance of doing so. The organisation packs the items into gift sets and delivers them to new moms in government hospitals all over South Africa. The packs consist of basic necessities such as clothes, blankets, toiletries, nappies and a few things for mom.
Now, the NPO is setting up operations in Hillcrest in KwaZulu-Natal and plans to host the first packing day in July.
“We are so excited to announce that we are expanding to KwaZulu-Natal!
We have received such a warm welcome already and we are so grateful for the incredible support we have received so far.
Our very first packing day for KZN will be on Saturday, 22 July, in Hillcrest and we would love for you to join us!
If you are based in the area, please get in touch to see how you can get involved. With your help, we are able to reach so many more mothers and babies who need it most.”
People are welcome to send donations, and some women even crochet beanies, booties, blankets and other adorable premature baby items. Not only does the organisation welcome donors, but they also welcome volunteers to help pack the packs and hand them out at the hospitals. You can reach out to get involved via Facebook here.
