WFWP South Africa Launch of the Reusable Baby Nappy Project - Promoting Sustainability and Dignity through Practical Action

by: Florida Yadao Ledwaba

On June 21, 2025, the Women's Federation for World Peace South Africa officially launched the Reusable Baby Nappy Project, a community initiative aimed at promoting environmental sustainability while restoring dignity to women and children. The project is generously sponsored by WFWP International.

The launch took place with a hands-on workshop attended by eight participants, where they learned how to sew reusable baby nappy inserts. This practical training not only equipped participants with a useful skill but also raised awareness about the environmental impact of disposable nappies.

As part of the initiative, one mother of a 4-month-old baby girl received a gift set of three reusable diapers and eight inserts—a small but meaningful contribution to her family’s well-being and environmental responsibility.The Reusable Baby Nappy Project is part of a broader effort to encourage climate action at the grassroots level by providing sustainable solutions that empower women and protect the planet.

We invite more volunteers and supporters to join us in expanding this project to reach more mothers and caregivers. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
