OrphanCare is a local organisation that provides homes for children in institutions and unplanned newborn babies

Since it first launched in 2008, the non-governmental organisation, which has set up several baby hatches around Malaysia, has rescued over 520 babies.

In a recent Instagram post on Tuesday, 27 June, OrphanCare sent out a request for specific baby supplies from anyone who would like to donate.

These are the baby supplies they need:

1. Small baby bottles
2. Baby detergent
3. Baby wipes
4. Infant formula
5. Baby diapers (newborn and small size)

If you or anyone you know would like to contribute or donate, all you need to do is drop them a message on Instagram.
