To commemorate Mandela Day, UJW Johannesburg played fairy godmother to 250 impoverished moms and their new-born babies at a number of hospitals and clinics around Johannesburg: Baragwaneth Hospital, Edenvale Hospital, Charlotte Maxeke Hospital, Hillbrow Clinic, Rahima Moosa Hospital, Alexandra Clinic and Natalspruit Hospital.
Every woman in each of those hospitals who had given birth that day, or the night before, was presented with a baby starter pack containing nappies, a babygro and vest, a pair of baby socks or booties, a beanie, a bottle and dummy, baby cream and a blanket.
