Yachting Gives Back supports SOS Mamás Baleares

A woman and a young girl embrace each other

SOS Mamás

Every mother deserves a chance to be the best mother to her child. From this conviction two nurses, friends and former colleagues created a simple FB page in 2013, where mothers could ask for and offer help to each other. In total anonymity, if necessary.
It was to become a meeting point where no issues of religion, politics or social class would come between people. It was to become a place where shared agony lessened, and shared joy multiplied. So it did, and still does. SOS Mamás has grown into a network of 4 centres across Mallorca helping vulnerable families with equipment, clothing, food, psychological support and legal assistance when needed. Yachting Gives Back is delighted to be able to support this great charity by delivering food and useful baby & child equipment donated by the yachting community.

How YGB collaborates with SOS Mamás

Donations of clothing and equipment

$39

Our supporters bring us children´s clothing, shoes, buggies, baby equipment, toys and other items that are in good condition and ready to be re-loved by those who need them. Our van makes regular trips to the SOS Mamás centres loaded to the brim.

Nappy deliveries

$49

Many of our supporters know that nappies are a necessity in families with small children and therefore regularly shop for a few packets when visiting a supermarket. YGB also uses some of the donated funds for this purpose.

Special requests

$49

We are always attentive to any special requests by SOS Mamás and try to respond as best we can. We often pass the requests to our supporters, so please follow our FB page and let us know if you have something we are looking for.
