International Women’s Day Appeal 2025
This International Women’s Day (IWD), we shed light on a harsh reality: In South Australia, around 1 in 2 women giving birth each year requires critical support. These mothers are often living below the poverty line, facing challenges like homelessness, mental health struggles, food insecurity, and extreme isolation.
Accelerate Action:
Support Vulnerable Mothers
Essential Support
For these women, the everyday essentials many of us take for granted—like nappies, baby wraps, and baby wash—are out of reach.
Our Commitment
At The Village Co., we are committed to accelerating action by providing care packs filled with these vital items and offering emotional support to help mothers through this vulnerable time.
Bold Goal
Our bold goal is to support 50% of all women giving birth in South Australia each year. We need your help to make this vision a reality.
How You Can Accelerate Action
Donate $28
Contribute toward filling a care pack and supporting 2,800 women in need.
Donate $150
Provide a complete care pack, offering full support to a mother and her newborn.
Recurring Donation
Set up a recurring donation for as little as $28 per month to sustain our mission year-round, providing ongoing support instead of a one-time contribution.
Host an event
Host an event with friends and family to raise vital funds (see below).
Your donation will provide vulnerable mothers with essential items, giving them hope and comfort during one of life's most transformative moments.
