Baby Tents Support Quake's Youngest Survivors

Twins Michelle and Micaël are some of the first infants to visit this baby tent in Léogâne

Amid the host of makeshift shelters in Léogâne, Save the Children has established an oasis from the crowded camp outside for babies and mothers.

In the baby tent, 1-month-old twins, Michelle and Micaël, and their mother, Rachelle, have a clean, quiet and safe place to breastfeed.

In addition to providing a protected place, the tents serve as a centre for breastfeeding support groups as many mothers are having difficulty feeding their infants since the quake.
