A baby is found.

A police officer, paramedic, security guard, or community member is first on the scene. What happens in the next few minutes matters enormously.

Impilo's Abandoned Baby Rescue Kits make sure that the people who respond first have what they need.

Each kit contains:
💚 Nappies and baby wipes
💚 A warm blanket
💚 Baby clothing including babygros, vests, beanies, and socks
💚 A bottle and hydration items
💚 A form for gathering important information
💚 Comfort items for the baby

These kits exist entirely because of donations. If you or your organisation would like to contribute, you can make a real difference in the very first moments of a child's life.

WHEN PROCESS MATTERS MORE THAN A NEWBORN'S LIFE -
This week a baby was safely relinquished in a Baby Saver. Under our normal processes the baby would have been removed immediately and transported for medical assessment and care and then DSD intervened and things almost did not work out and cost the NPO R4000!
What actually happened?

⏰ 17:33 – Baby reported.
⏰ 17:38 – Emergency services confirmed and ambulance requested.
⏰ 17:52 – Still waiting for ambulance response.
⏰ 17:56 – Baby's condition appeared to require immediate medical attention.
⏰ 17:59 – Private ambulance requested because government response was taking too long.
⏰ 18:45 – Private ambulance finally arrived.
⏰ 19:09 – Paramedics reported the baby was critical and could not wait for SAPS.
⏰ 19:17 – Baby finally arrived at the hospital.

It was immediately apparent that this was not a baby born in a medical facility. The umbilical cord had not been properly clamped. Instead, a small piece of cotton had been tied around it. The cord was still leaking and bleeding.This baby required urgent medical assessment.

Yet instead of being able to move the baby immediately, the Baby Saver organisation was required to follow instructions imposed by DSD Tshwane that only designated officials could remove the baby and take over the statutory process. What followed was a chain of delays, referrals, waiting for responses, waiting for transport, and waiting for authorisation.
Almost two hours passed before the baby finally reached hospital.
Ask yourself: If a newborn is bleeding, cold, dehydrated, premature, or experiencing complications after birth, how long should that baby be forced to wait while adults debate procedure?
Baby Savers exist because vulnerable newborns do not have time to wait. Every minute matters. Every delay matters. Every decision has consequences.
This baby reached hospital. But systems designed to protect children should never create obstacles that delay life-saving medical care.
A bleeding newborn waited nearly two hours to reach hospital. Babies won't survive on bureaucracy!

On 16 June 1976, young people took to the streets for the right to learn, to be seen, and to have a future worth fighting for.

Nearly fifty years later, we honour that.

But we also have to be honest.

Too many young people in South Africa are still fighting. In homes that are not safe. In schools where they do not feel protected. In communities that do not always show up for them.

Youth Day is not just a reflection on the past. It is a reminder of what we still owe the next generation.

Safety. Education. Stability. People who show up.

At Impilo, that is what we work towards every single day.

DAY 3 IN ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP! 🎉

Today marks the final day of Impilo's Teen Pregnancy Awareness Programme at the school in Alexandra Township.

Over the past three days, we have had the privilege of engaging with 350 Grade 7 learners, discussing important topics that impact their lives and futures, including Teen Pregnancy, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Bullying, Baby Abandonment, and Self-Empowerment.

The learners have been enthusiastic, engaged, and eager to participate, making this programme a truly rewarding experience for our team.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this initiative possible:
💙 RTT for your generous sponsorship and commitment to empowering young people.
💙 The Orange Print for your outstanding service and printing support.
💙 Our dedicated Impilo staff and the trained volunteers from the Afrika Tikkun Foundation for your passion and hard work.

Together, we are equipping young people with knowledge, confidence, and life skills that can help shape brighter futures.

Phillistus Manoreng, auxiliary social worker at Impilo, answers a question that matters more than most people realise – who do you report it to when you notice a child is being neglected or abandoned?

Because noticing is not enough, and acting on what you see is what changes outcomes.

Not every child has an adult in their life who will stand up for them. That is where the rest of us come in. Communities exist to protect their most vulnerable members, and children who cannot speak up for themselves need someone who will.

If you see something, say something. Do not wait for someone else to make the call.

The child in front of you may not be able to ask for help. But you can.
