In 2007, the Anderson family went to Juarez on a Mission trip. Like many they did not want to leave behind these great people, but wanted to continue helping. They noticed that babies sometimes go 4 days without a diaper change because the parents cannot afford diapers. Cloth diapers are impossible because of scarce and expensive water. They also noticed that the high infant mortality was due to malnourished mothers that cannot breast fed and cannot afford formula. So they started Babies of Juarez to help provide these items. It is a compelling story and one that offers hope for so many babies in the colonias where we at JCEP build and educate. Read about this great effort at www.babiesofjuarez.org.
