I can hardly believe it's been five months since the earthquake. When disaster strikes, most people think of food, shelter, clothing, and water. Diapers are an overlooked, yet basic need that you chose to provide to children in Mexico. Thank you!
Our work in Earthquake Relief has been quite the education in patience and flexibility. The diaper kits we provide are easily handwashable, and have two main parts: the waterproof cover (or shell), and the insert (the absorbent part). Because of manufacturing challenges, we were running low on inserts. But we partnered us with a church group based in Texas. This church group has a talented group of women who love to sew and have been making inserts, but are unable to make the shells, which we had! Together, we were able to provide diaper kits to another ministry which were then transported across the border into Mexico to families in need.
