They say it takes a village to raise a kid – we say it takes a village to deliver one. It’s amazing what can be accomplished when people get together with intent to do good. Thanks to everyone’s support for #safeshelterNepal we have been able to see the beginning of new life among the ruins of tragedy, but it doesn’t happen overnight. Join us on our journey from the moment we receive a donation all the way to celebrating a little one’s birth day in the rural villages of Nepal – just as Lao Tzu said ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step’.

It all begins with you, the moment a donation has been made the wheels begin to turn starting a domino effect of good. Thanks to our amazing founder, 100% of any donation goes straight to the supplies needed, allowing more to be given to the soon-to-be moms in need. These donations go towards tents that will be turned into birthing centers as well as lights and power provided by our partners Barebones Living and Goal Zero needed to bring a baby into the world safely, securely, and with all the support needed.

Next, the team gets down and dirty piling the supplies into a trailer headed towards Santa Monica for its long journey. The amazing people from First Mile are our knights in shining semi trailers making the trip. As soon as it arrives the team from Direct Relief flies it about 7,000 miles to Nepal, talk about a long flight.

After some serious jet lag our precious cargo is met by the always inspiring and amazing team from One Heart World-Wide – our partner on the ground. Once they receive the shipment it will begin the last leg of the journey, delivery to the rural areas in need of them the most. Once set up they are ready for next incredible story – labor and birth.

What an awe-inspiring path to making a change in a mom and newborn’s life. Ready to help us do it all over again? Donate the cost of a $20 baby blanket and we can bring a night of warmth and security to a newborn in Nepal
