Thanks to the Youth AIDS Walk in October, ChangeOneLife was able to send $500 to Kikuyu Hospital this month. These funds will purchase infant formula and other supplies provided to these babies whose mothers are HIV positive and are served in Kikuyu Hospital’s AIDS Clinic as part of our joint Mothers Milk Project. By providing infant formula, COL prevents these mothers from transmitting HIV to their babies in breast milk.
Vanessa, COL’s Health Ministry Consultant to Kenya, recently reported on a fantastic day she spent with 7 Mother’s Milk recipient mothers and their children. Check out some of the great photos below!

One baby came on board just 2 months ago, a boy named John Maina. He is now 3 months old and his Mother is Jane Mugure. Another new recipient just started. She is a 1 month old baby girl named Patience Nduta with her mother Purity Nyambura. These two will be the first to benefit from COL extending the Mother’s Milk project from 6 months to one year of life.
