Dozens of Diapers

The need for diapers in impoverished countries is tremendous, especially at orphanages. For example, we know of one orphanage that uses 9,600 diapers per month.

Disposable diapers are financially out of reach, not to mention the negative environmental and health impact they have on these countries. For many orphanages, the solution is to leave the babies without diapers. However this causes unsanitary conditions for both the baby and the orphanage. Through our ministry, Dozens of Diapers, Homebound Missions donates cloth diapers to orphanages in Haiti, India, Portugal, and Asia.

You can help us by sewing cloth diapers using our simple pattern:
