Lucy heads out with a volunteer from Homestart Uganda an organisation that provides emotional and practical support to vulnerable mothers. She visits a young mother Ruth who without the support of Homestart may well have abandoned her baby as she had no one to turn to. Ruth is one of the many mothers that Esther the Homestart volunteer supports in the local communities. Lucy comments on how the support has made such a difference in keeping a mother and baby together as they should be. Childs I will hopefully be working in partnership with Homestart so as well as helping abandoned babies they will also be able to prevent babies being abandoned in the first place.
