Help parents provide for their little ones.

Millions of babies and toddlers in the U.S. live in families burdened by poverty. The cost of baby basics like clothing and blankets adds up quickly. And diapers, which are a daily necessity from the moment a baby is born, cost an average of around $100 a month — but are not covered by government support programs. For parents earning minimum wage, that’s a substantial portion of their monthly income, even if they’re working full time.

Families regularly report cutting back on essentials like food and utilities to cover the cost of diapers, but even with these sacrifices they often still can’t afford an adequate daily supply. This can force them to delay changing diapers or rinse and reuse disposable diapers, both of which lead to negative health impacts on their babies. In addition, most childcare centers require parents to provide disposable diapers, so without them, parents are forced to miss work or school.

Your gift of $45 — the average cost of a pack of diapers — can give hope to struggling U.S. parents by providing diapers, blankets, and other necessities, helping them to keep their children healthy and take concrete steps to build a brighter future for their family.

Our Commitment

Your gift is a sacred trust. We promise to honor your generosity by using your donation in the most effective way possible. Giving options represent World Vision projects and suggested donation amounts are based on surveys in the countries where we serve. Your donation will be used to provide assistance where it's needed most with the gift category. For example, when you give an animal gift, a portion of the gift may also help provide water sources, farming assistance, hunger relief, and other related essentials.

The multiplying effect from grants and donated goods may change throughout the year on identical or similar offers due to variations in the start and end dates of donor grants and our programs.
