The foundation’s mission is to provide babies with the basic of human connections – touch. Orphaned babies become conditioned not to cry, even when left alone for 17 hours a day, simply because they know no one is coming.

Research shows touch deprivation in infants is attributed to many emotional and physical disorders, including brain defects, anxiety and depression to name a few.

Their goal is to eliminate touch deprivation in orphaned babies across the world.

Just $100 a month is enough to employ one local woman to help nurture these orphaned babies, so even the smallest amount matters.
