The boxes can be made for a boy, a girl, or in neutral colours. 

Please package the contents in a Woolworths or Pick and Pay reusable canvas shopping bag. We find that a bag is easier as the mother are able to carry it easily on their way home – which is often by taxi. 

The bags/boxes will be checked so that the contents are approximately standardized. When we hand out the boxes, we will also include a pamphlet on how to register the baby with home affairs. This will help the mother secure access to a child grant and for schooling. Ackermans and Jet have a good, affordable selection of baby clothing. Can we ask that you please include a little note of encouragement for the new mom? This should ideally be an anonymous note, but gives the box a personal feel.
