Our Village

Our Village is the next chapter in the story of three of Victoria’s most loved charities: St Kilda Mums, Geelong Mums and Eureka Mums.

Our model is simple: we partner with social services and maternal and child health nurses to connect families looking to donate baby and children’s goods with families who urgently need these essential items. Instead of being discarded into landfill, good quality, safe items including cots, car seats, prams, clothing, books and toys can now provide many more families with years of use.

We focus on babies and children aged 0-6 years as we know our lives are impacted by our experiences in early childhood. The attachment between a child and their primary carer in the first 2000 days of life significantly influences that child’s health, development and resilience. If there is economic, psychological and/or physical distress, the ability to develop this bond is at risk. Through our work we strive to alleviate these pressures and create th opportunity for every child to feel secure, safe and to thrive. As part of the circular economy, we are reducing waste by extending the lifespan of kids’ essential goods through repair and reuse.

Our vision: Share more. Waste less. Every Child Thrives.
Our purpose: We rehome essentials to give kids the best start in life.

In 2024, we reached over 22,000 vulnerable babies and children across Victoria and diverted over 209,000kg from landfill. With your support we can continue turning pre-loved into re-loved so every child thrives.
