Why no help families by raising $ to give them cloth diapers? Laundry has to be done regardless in all households and cloth diaper laundry is as easy as regular clothes/towels/etc laundry. I think supporting families in need is great in any manner, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if they were given an eco-friendly stash of reusable cloth diapers instead of additional throw away ones?

Why not promote the use of modern cloth nappies (diapers)?

To me it seems insane to be promoting reliance on a commercial product that is harmful to the environment and the recipients are not able to maintain reliance on beyond this charity.

It’s like giving a homeless child a battery operated toy for Christmas, once the store batteries run out it’s just landfill, along with 2 boxes of Huggies which could have bought a years worth of cloth nappies.
