Welcome to The Australian Outback Baby Project.The Project is made up of many wonderful volunteers from mostly Australia and some from around the world.
We knit, sew,quilt, felt and or crochet clothes and items for donation to hospitals, Outreach clinics and remote midwives in Outback Australia and rural New South Wales as well as Careflight NSW & NT so that they can donate the gift sets to grieving families of stillborn & miscarried babies and give comfort to preemie babies whilst in hospital and their flight to hospital.
We receive no government funding help what so ever, and rely on community donations & sponsorships to create our care packs and special baby packs. We do NOT send people money to post us their donated items what so ever. We are a registered not for profit.
THIS IS WHAT WE DO:
* We are a volunteer incorporated charity which provides hospitals, remote clinics and midwives in Outback Australia, Northern and rural NSW, Northern Territory & in 2016 the Kimberley and Central Australia; with unique hand made baby funeral outfits and items for stillborn & miscarried baby funerals & memorials; and (living) preemies & select few newborns free of charge.
* We have "adopted" over 260 Aboriginal children in very remote Northern Territory who are orphans or being fostered. We provide baby products & clothes, Christmas presents, hospital baby packs, trauma toys, food etc that they may need. We also help the 47 remote Aboriginal communities that the 260 babies and kids reside on.
