The International Breast Milk Project is a non-profit organization that solicits donations of human milk and provides the milk to needy infants. In April 2006 founder Jill Youse searched for ways to donate breast milk and stumbled across an orphanage in Durban, South Africa, looking for donor milk to provide for their HIV positive infants. Soon after she was featured in a local newspaper, and other mothers began contacting her to find ways to donate their milk. As more mothers became involved, more articles were produced which lead to Oprah Winfrey and others. After the wide exposure provided by Oprah and Charles Gibson at ABC World News, IBMP partnered with Prolacta Bioscience, who packaged the donated milk, and Quick International Courier, who transports and ships the milk to Africa. IBMP has provided over a half million ounces of breast milk, and granted $140,000 towards health care in Africa. More information...
