More than a hundred vulnerable babies have been given a second chance at life through the work of the Rauch Elohim Foundation, a child protection organisation dedicated to preventing baby dumping and caring for abandoned and abused children.
The Rauch Elohim Foundation has employed a social worker to support the Baby Saver Box initiative, following a donation from Rossing Uranium.
The Rossing Foundation gave N$350,000 to enhance the impact of the initiative on baby dumping.
The Rauch Elohim Foundation has so far saved 60 babies who could have been otherwise abandoned.
Police statistics show that 140 babies have been abandoned since 2018, and some landed in the Baby Box at Swakopmund.
Ronel Peters and her husband founded the Rauch Elohim Foundation five years ago.
