Why I shared my breast milk with babies I had never met

Parenting
 Phyllis Mwanthi displays some of the breast milk that she donated to Angel Centre for Abandoned Children in Dagoreti (Elvis Ogina, Standard)

When Phyllis Mwanthi, a mother of two, delivered her second baby five months ago, she immediately started expressing breast milk to ensure the little one survived exclusively on the ‘liquid gold’ for six months as science recommends. 

With her baby almost transiting to solids, Mwanthi realised she had extra bags of frozen breast milk that her baby might never need.

Mwanthi had been expressing the breast milk daily and storing at least 400ml.
