A small New Zealand company has made a big-hearted donation to the people of flood-stricken Texas aiming to send more than 1000 Pepi-Pods.
The simple beds would give babies evacuated in Hurricane Harvey a safe place to sleep, said Stephanie Cowan from Change for our Children Limited.
The storm has killed at least 44 people in Texas, and forced 32,000 people into shelters since it came ashore last Friday near Rockport on the Gulf of Mexico coast. It was the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in half a century.
The small Christchurch-based social innovation company was behind the nation-wide Pepi-Pod response to the catastrophe.
Cowan said the company would supply of a minimum of 1000 Pepi-Pod baby beds to families in Texas.
"Babies are a particularly vulnerable group in times of natural disaster," Cowan said.
