Have you ever really wondered what a blanket could mean to a child, a new mum, and an adult alike?
Did you know that blankets have been proven to provide comfort and security? Actually, they work the same way a tight swaddle helps newborns feel snug and cozy.
Blankets help ease stress and soothe anxiety, improve sleep quality, and calm the nervous system as well as help children with autism spectrum disorders. They have the same positive effects as being held or hugged, yet many children and new mums in maternity clinics do not have access to this basic but highly essential item.
Master’s Touch, a humanitarian organisation that seeks to improve the quality of life for the less privileged, is embarking on an exciting and heartwarming project called GIVE A BLANKET.
The GAB, Give A Blanket Project, was conceived by Pastor Abby Daramola, Founder of Master’s Touch in 2019 as a result of her experience during one of her visits to Nigeria where she witnessed firsthand the deplorable sleeping conditions of children who slept on cold floors, in the cold without adequate cover for their bodies. This experience greatly impacted Pastor Abby and she decided to do something about it.
The GAB Project seeks to provide warmth and comfort to vulnerable children and new mums in form of a blanket, starting from Lagos and Ogun State. The distribution process is scheduled for the 8th and 9th of April 2022.
The impact of this project will help shield a lot of children and newborns from the challenges that may arise as a result of being exposed to unfavorable conditions that will affect their health and general well-being.
Master’s Touch seeks the support of the general public in achieving this goal.
