Every child born in Latvia deserves not only loving and caring parents, but also all the provisions to grow up healthy and happy. Unfortunately many parents are finding it difficult to provide for their children due to lack of money.
Most frequently it's poor families with infants under the age of 2 that require help. During this time there are large expenses associated with purchasing milk supplements and diapers. Children from poor families need our help so that they don't feel deprived and grow up with everything required for a successful start in life.
Most of the time these families live off meagre child care and welfare benefits, but it's hardly enough, especially if something unexpected (like illness) strikes. Every benefit payment or the salary of the employed parent is critical. There is often not enough money for milk supplements, diapers, medicine in case of an illness. It is not unheard of that mothers try and make the milk supplement last longer by adding more that the recommended amount of water which ultimately means that the infant goes hungry and that is not acceptable. Insufficient resources in the family is not the fault of the child.
Let's help families with infants who can't afford the very basics. Only 16 euro donation will provide an infant with milk supplements and diapers for approximately one week. Ziedot.lv is working on this initiative together with charities across Latvia.
