Why I shared my breast milk with babies I never met

 Phyllis Mwanthi displays stored breast milk when she donated her breast milk to the Angel Centre for Abandoned Children in Dagoretti, Nairobi on April 12, 2021 [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.  

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

As of last week, Mwanthi had been expressing the breast milk daily and ensured she stored at least 400ml.
