SABR at a glance
Monday, June 26th, 2006
The South African Breastmilk Reserve (SABR) is a Social Profit Organisation (SPO is a change in convention from NPO that is coming into effect with the opening of SASIX (South Africa Social Investment Exchange) at the JSE and follows global trends. The focus is on the use of positive terminology, so instead of non-profit we are now social profit organisations). Two breastfeeding promotion programs are being run through SABR; the human milkbank in Johannesburg that provides infants with safe pasteurised breastmilk for the purpose of improving their health and well-being, and the Feed For Life initiative that endeavour to empower women living in poverty and with HIV/AIDS, through informed infant feeding choices.
It has been a very exciting year and in view of the opening of two new breastmilk banks SABR is looking for breastmilk donors nationally, to help our associate breastmilk banks, for people interested in donating their time, and for funding/money-donations to aid in the equipping and running of the breastmilk banks.
