Baby Teresa is an Australian organisation based in Tasmania who manufacture and sell funky 100% cotton all-in-one outfits for babies. For each one we sell, we donate another to a baby in need somewhere in the world so that each time you purchase one, you give two.
What’s special about Baby Teresa?
In this day and age, dollars can be scarce, but the desire to make a greater impact on the world around us is as strong as ever. Baby Teresa gives people the opportunity to buy a fabulous gift for a baby they know, and at the same time provide a functional outfit for a baby they’ll never know, but who really needs that outfit.
Launched in September, 2009 Baby Teresa’s first charitable all-in-one baby outfit donations will be done in the founder’s home state of Tasmania to benevolent organisations assisting mother’s with new-borns in need. Our second drop was in Uganda. From there, the donations will continue with Sammie and Kirsty’s goal being to help clothe a baby in every country in the world!
Who are the founders of Baby Teresa?
Baby Teresa is the passion project of Sammie Appleyard and Kirsty Dunphey, both Tasmanian entrepreneurs with a global focus. See our about us page for more info on Sammie and Kirsty.
Baby Teresa Goals
- Our first goal is to donate 1000 Baby Teresa all in one baby outfits to babies in need
- From there our next goal is to clothe at least one baby in need in every country in the world!
What do people have to say about Baby Teresa?
It wasn’t until I had my own baby that I realized how unfair it is that not every baby in the world is as loved and well provided for as my own. With Baby Teresa I get the fun of shopping for my own child, and the knowledge that I’m helping another child as well. It’s a great feeling. Bella Fountain
I’ve spent the better part of the last 3 years over working with disadvantaged children, orphaned children and children that have been abandoned and I’ve seen how excited they get about something so simple as having something new to wear. It’s the small things that we really take for granted back home. So many children over here have never ever had a single new thing to wear - in orphanages, shelters and poor families it is always hand-me-downs and not enough. Children in the Western world are such an important, treasured part of our lives. It's our culture to keep them safe, loved and to be able to spoil them! Its great to be able to give people the opportunity to still partake in that mind set while being able to benefit a less fortunate child overseas at the same time. Carrie Hesketh
I love that when I buy a cute outfit from Baby Teresa for my son, it also will support a less fortunate child somewhere else in the world. Retail therapy and meaningful contribution rolled into one – what a winning approach! Sara Redman
It’s always so hard to find something “meaningfully different” to help friends celebrate the arrival of their beautiful baby – now Baby Teresa offers a gorgeous and useful gift idea, a way to keep generosity and goodwill circulating throughout global communities in need and supports sassy local entrepreneurs... couldn’t think of much better! Thank you – from me and the beautiful babies that can’t express themselves yet -they really, really thank you. Janie Finlay
