My cousin Meg Fidler, Executive Director of the Petra Foundation, sent me this article about an organization that sends breast milk to South Africa. Read more at NEED. which describes itself as the "first independent magazine dedicated solely to global and domestic humanitarian issues."

"Every day, around 1,500 people in South Africa become infected with
HIV. This epidemic has led to about 1.4 million orphans in South Africa
alone. Many of these young children are malnourished and are in
desperate need of care. Jill Youse, founder of the International Breast
Milk Project (IBMP), is here to help.

"To date, IBMP has sent 65,000 bottles of breast milk to South
Africa. This amount of “liquid gold,” as Youse calls it, has the
ability to feed 2,188 babies for a month. If you do the math, it’s easy
to see that there’s still a need for milk. Youse and two thousand other
mothers are determined to meet this demand.

"The
idea of donating milk first came to Youse after her daughter was born
and she had a freezer full of breast milk. Not wanting the food to go
to waste, she turned to Google. Youse soon found an orphanage in South
Africa that needed donor milk. After personally sending her milk to
Durban, South Africa, Youse had no idea that her actions would turn
into an international nonprofit.

"“I didn’t think, ‘Oh I’m going to go start a nonprofit organization
and start a worldwide movement. I just thought, ‘This is a simple
solution. I have a whole lot of something, and here’s this baby that
has nothing. Certainly this is least I can do,’” says Youse.

News of this unique donation quickly spread, and mothers started
calling Youse asking where to send their milk. When the Oprah show
called and left a message on her cell phone Youse didn’t believe it. “I
didn’t return their call because I thought it was my best friend
playing a joke. When I got the second message I looked at the area code
and thought, ‘I better call back.’ And it was a good thing that I did,”
Youse explains. After Oprah gave her approval of IBMP,
the 10 donating mothers turned into 1,500, the IBMP website quit
functioning and Youse’s inbox was overwhelmed with new inquiries."
