Life in Cuba isn't always easy. Living in extreme poverty, many families are unable to afford diapers for their children. We have been blessed to partner with a church to help provide the often overlooked need of diapers to families in dire need. Your support has made this possible!
Stacy & Charles visited Pastor Faustino, and were able to bring along 20 cloth diaper kits. Each kit contains enough cloth diapers to last from birth to potty training. After Stacy returned. she shared with me a few insights into her experience.
Stacy was able to personally give out a few kits, and show the Moms how they work She started crying as she shared how joyful and thankful the Moms were. They had never received a nice gift before, and they were in awe of the diapers and what the diapers mean. For the first time, they would be able to keep their children clean and dry.
It is an amazing gift you are giving to families in Cuba. Thank you for partnering with us as we work to help as we are able.
That's not all...
We have more big news to share... We've been named one of GlobalGiving's Top 10 Nonprofits commited to Impact! You'll find us at number 5 on the list!
This inaugural list highlights 10 of GlobalGiving's nonprofit partners (and five honorable mentions) that have demonstrated a commitment to impact through learning. Winners have earned the most points in GG Rewards, GlobalGiving's way of tracking how nonprofits Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat. GlobalGiving has found that nonprofits that listen to their stakeholders, act on what they hear, and learn from the results of their actions are more effective and have a greater impact in their communities.
This is a great moment for us, we're proud to be recognized for our commitment to effectiveness and impact.
Thank you for believing in us, together we are ending the choice between food & diapers! I encourage you to help us celebrate, and share our story with friends, family, & colleagues who might like to join us in making the world a better place. I can be reached at stephanie@jakesdiapers.org with any questions. I'd love to hear from you.
