Babies are being left in hospitals, at police stations, on garbage piles, and in fields.
The agony that accompanies pneumonia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and malnutrition is staggering. Babies are brought to us barely alive, and they come with nothing – no names, not even birthdays.
The Abandoned Baby Centre, an innovative five acre facility on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, has a medical centre, playrooms, and special care cottages to help abandoned babies recover, grow, and thrive.
When a baby first arrives at the ABC, they are bathed and immediately examined by the medical team. Some require immediate and dramatic medical intervention, and most of the babies receive an intense feeding schedule of high-protein infant formula given every three hours.
Because of caring friends who have become ABC Angels, there is hope. As an ABC Angel, your monthly gift will provide a wonderful home where these babies can heal and grow.
