Young teenage mothers in Chifusa are working hard to care for their babies while trying to continue their education and build independent futures.

Baby bottles are urgently needed to help these young mothers safely feed and care for their infants while attending classes, training sessions and support programs. Something so simple can ease stress and provide practical support during a very demanding stage of life.

Bib

Many teenage girls are becoming mothers before they’ve had the chance to finish school or build a future. Deep poverty leaves families struggling, and young girls often feel they have no choice but to prioritise survival over education. Without support, these girls face isolation, lost opportunities and a cycle of hardship that continues into the next generation. Mthunzi Foundation is seeking baby bib donations as part of a broader effort to support teenage mothers with education, emotional care and skills training. With practical help and community support, these young women can rebuild confidence, continue learning and create brighter futures for themselves and their children.

Baby carrier

Quantity Needed: 12

In Chifusa village, many teenage girls are becoming mothers long before they are ready. Poverty forces difficult choices, and education is often set aside as young girls focus on caring for their babies and meeting daily survival needs. Instead of planning their futures, they are navigating motherhood with very limited support. Safe transport is a real concern. A secure baby carrier or car seat suitable for children aged 1 to 4 years can make a significant difference when travelling to health clinics, school programs or skills training sessions. Mthunzi Foundation is seeking donations of baby carriers or car seats appropriate for 1 to 4 year old children to help protect these little ones while their mothers work toward education, emotional wellbeing and greater independence. With practical support, these young families can move toward safer and brighter futures.

Life in Chifusa village is especially challenging for young girls who find themselves becoming mothers far too soon. With limited income and few opportunities, many are unable to continue their education and must focus entirely on caring for their babies. The pressure of poverty often leaves them without even the most basic household essentials. Bath towels of any colour or size are urgently needed to support these young mothers and their children. Something so simple can help restore comfort, hygiene and a sense of dignity in daily life. Mthunzi Foundation is working alongside these teenage mothers by providing educational support, emotional guidance and practical skills training. With the right help and essential items, these young women can begin rebuilding their futures and creating safer, more hopeful lives for their families.
