Does any one know of a charity (Orphanage or similar) that would want a donation of some brand new cloth nappy items?

Does any one know of a charity (Orphanage or similar) that would want a donation of some brand new cloth nappy items?

Thats it really, I have a large number of brand new cloth nappy items, wraps mostly, that need a new home, I have decided to donate to charity and would like to donate to an orphanage or similar children's project but can't find any and don't know where else to look.

I would be happy to pay for delivery of the items.

Hi ya, don't think anyone like that would like to use them tbh for the work involved.
But why don't you sell them on Ebay and give all the profits to a charity of your choice?

I know that some Romanian and African orphanages have accepted them in the past but can't track any down now.

Its not worth the hassle selling them on ebay they just don't sell well, there is too much competition.

cloth nappies very popular in orphanages which normally rely on strips of cloth. No idea howmuch they would cost to end though.

I by chance you don;t get rid of them I can get some addresses for you to send direct.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
