Babes in Arms is committed to making poverty history. We donate $1 from every order to ‘Lydia’s List’ through TEAR Australia. Your purchase through Babes in Arms therefore not only makes a difference for you and your baby, but also for mothers and children across the globe.
In December, BIA raised $1500 to provide a water well for a community in Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania or Uganda. This was with YOUR support, so thank you! xxx
‘Lydia’s List’ was created as a way of focusing on the particular challenges facing women living in poverty. It aims to empower women to take control of their own futures and contribute to their own families and communities. It seeks to provide long-term financial and capacity building support to community development and advocacy projects.
TEAR Australia, established in 1972, works to help the poor in communities, striving to develop programs that involve the most marginalized and exploited members of each community they work within, regardless of their religious or political beliefs. TEAR Australia currently supports the development and relief work of 146 partner organizations across 32 countries.
TEAR Australia recognizes that there are no quick fixes to poverty. However, there are solutions that work with hard work, creativity and commitment to stand alongside the poor in their struggle.
