Formula Program
Klinik Jubilee offers a formula program to care for infants whose mothers have died in childbirth or been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, or another comparable disease, making it unsafe for the child to breastfeed. Infant formula is a costly thing in Haiti, unaffordable to most in Jubilee, leaving the child vulnerable to severe chronic malnutrition. Many of our infants are being cared for by neighbors or relatives. The formula program provides a weekly supply of infant formula, weekly check-ins to follow the child's progress, parenting & bonding classes for each caregiver/infant pair, nutrition counseling as they age into whole foods, and covers all medical treatment the child may need, as several of these babies must also be treated for HIV or syphillis. We are currently providing formula for 7 infants, but would like to expand to provide for 10. Would you consider sponsoring a baby in our formula program? |
