A love of cloth diapers first fueled our mission to help vulnerable babies in need. Over the years, we've seen firsthand the impact diapers and other hygiene products can have on an entire families' quality of life. Join our passionate community of individuals who are dedicated to improving the lives of babies, children and adults by helping to restore human dignity and hope.

Girls and women living in poverty struggle to afford essential period products to manage their menstrual hygiene. As a result, many low-income girls miss valuable days of school or work every month. Education rises out of poverty, and when girls are unable to fully participate in educational opportunities, their potential of breaking the cycle of poverty is diminished. Mothers struggling to work will struggle to care for their families.

Jake's Diapers serves babies around the world living in devastatingly difficult situations, where sometimes a choice has to be made between food and diapers. Jake's donates cloth diapers at no cost to orphanages, rescue centers and missionaries so these organizations can afford basic living expenses and focus on a solution for problems such as malnutrition and starvation. Cloth diapers provide a long-term solution from birth through potty-training, truly changing the lives of these children.

We support partners in the United States who work with families struggling to afford diaper need. Our reusable cloth diaper kits help save on funds for other basic needs while also maintaining health and sanitary conditions for the people they serve. In the United States, 1 in 7 children live in poverty. Oftentimes, these families are sacrificing one basic need to afford the other. This can include choosing between food and diapers. We aim to end that choice.

All babies deserve to be clean, dry and healthy. Yet 1 in 7 kids in the state live in families who struggle to meet the basic needs. With no federal safety net programs (WIC, food stamps) covering the cost of diapers, this is a problem. Our Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank program exists to solve this problem for more than 5,000 children struggling to have their diaper needs met.

At Jake's we believe in providing dignity for girls and women through equality and access to period products. Your donation will allow us to provide essential tools to keep girls in school as they start their 2022-2023 school year.

Our partners around the globe face extreme challenges in helping those they serve survive and thrive. Our Global Network program supplies cloth diaper kits and other reusable hygiene essentials to help organizations support basic needs of children living in desperate situations. When we supply hygiene needs, our partners are able to keep children clean, dry and healthy while also re-allocating that budget to other essentials for successful programs.

Things don't always go as planned. Those are the times our support networks matter most. Where would you be without those people who have your back? For many, Jake's is that group. What started as a goal of helping 15 babies at an orphanage in Peru grew to a nonprofit able to support diverse hygiene and basic modern needs.
