Baby Savers South Africa

Over the past year Project Life has donated four baby savers to organisations- three in Cape Town and one in Durban.

Mandukas Formwork, a local formwork and scaffolding company helped to create these baby savers and sponsored the materials for them too.

We then had the help of an electrician to help build the technology onto the box that triggers a lock to lock the door of the baby saver and to send a message to a response team that a baby has been placed into the saver. 

The first baby saver was given to an organization in Bellville called Inceba Saving babies.

The official launch of the Inceba Saving Babies baby saver was on 17 October 2018 and a team of paramedics from ER 24 were there to show their support. A baby was placed in the saver to demonstrate how the baby saver works and among others, CNI security, who is also providing their services for the baby saver, came to show their support on the day.

The Inceba Saving Babies baby saver is located in close proximity to the Bellville station and is located in Quarry street Bellville, next to the big AGS church building.

The second baby saver was donated to Lucinda Evans from Philisa Abafazi, an organisation doing a range of community work to assist vulnerable women and children in Cape Town. 

The saver is located at 69 Hillary drive in Lavender Hill.

The first baby to be placed in the Lavender Hill Philisa Abafazi baby saver was placed in the saver during the early hours of 30 March 2019.


The baby girl, just two days old, was left with a letter from her mother. 
The baby girl is currently in foster care until she is placed with a forever family.

The third baby saver was given to Katherine Brink from Little Brinks and they are still in the process of finding a location for the baby saver as the location is vitally important.

The baby saver that was donated to Durban was given to Youndi from Open Arms SA and they too are in the process of having it installed. They have a location- it is being put into their wall of their home but are in the process of finding a builder to install.

We are very excited to see how God will use these baby savers to help women who feel that they have no other option but to abandon their baby. May many lives be saved!

I am also sad to say that Project Life will not make any more baby savers. The project was incredibly stressful and challenging and my children are too young at this point for me to be putting as much time into Project life as I was. As many of you know, I have made the decision to commit to homeschooling my children as long as they would like to be homeschooled. 

It was my dream to become a supplier of baby savers in South Africa, that are cost-effective and also locally made. Making the savers made us realise that other organisations making baby savers are putting a mark upon their savers, and I wanted to change that and supply something that organisations could actually afford. 

If you would like to purchase a saver contact Baby Safe International who I'm sure will gladly assist you.
