The birth of a baby is usually a awaited and joyful event. However, it also comes with numerous difficulties that can overshadow the joy. To help parents come to terms with their emotions and practical issues related to baby care, the Latvian SOS Children's Villages Association has been implementing the new parent support program "When a Baby is Born" for eight years.
Within the framework of the program, in cooperation with PEP, we offer parents of newborns the opportunity to receive free informative and emotional support during the first 4 months of the baby's life and to participate in a parent and child support group. New parents receive both individual support through home visits or at another location convenient for them, and participate in support groups.
Participation in the program "When a Baby is Born" is free for new parents and many families participate each year, but its total costs over the course of a year are 47,000 euros. To continue providing this essential support, your help is very important. Your donation could be crucial for us to provide this important support also in 2024.
Your support is now twice as strong!
By donating today, you not only help to maintain this program but also double your contribution, thanks to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Community Initiative's promise to match donations up to 25,000 EUR. This means that your support is even more powerful.*
Please consider donating today so we can continue to support new families.
Thank you for being with us on this mission!
*The support promise will be valid, provided that the conditions for fundraising and reporting are met.
