In 2020 The Danú Project was set up to provide maternity kits and support to asylum seekers. This year the charity is starting a journey to continue supplying maternity kits with a goal of starting other projects that will be essential to the well-being and empowerment of asylum seekers. The maternity kits and pregnancy supports will continue as one of the main branches the charity will focus on. Later on in the year we will establish a Youth Engagement and Development branch, including a Mental Health support scheme. We as a team would like to make sure all voices are heard from throughout the system so even the most vulnerable are supported, All funds will be greatly appreciated towards this empowering project. Funds from this collection will go towards maternity kits for families whose babies already arrived this month or are due very soon.
