Mothers in Israel are diluting their babies’ bottles - Sponsored Content

The cost of baby formula devastates poor families in Israel. The result? Infants are malnourished and serious health problems lie ahead for these children as they grow.

When Aryeh Lurie found out that poor mothers were diluting baby bottles, he stocked the warehouse with formula and began our Feed a Baby program.

Thanks to the kindness of people like you, the program provided over 17,200 cans of formula to mothers in need last year. But there are still mothers who can't afford formula for their infants.

For just $2.60 a day, you can make sure a baby in Israel gets the formula they need.

Give monthly to feed a baby in Israel every day of the year!
