Birthing Kit Assembly Event
You can help to save the lives of Mothers and Babies around the world! We live in a world where tragically 295,000 women die every year from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth, and 2.5 million babies die in their first month of life. This is preventable. This is why Birthing Kits exist.
Infection (such as sepsis) acquired during or directly after childbirth, is one of the leading (third most likely) causes of newborn and maternal death. Good hygiene is critical in eliminating infection during and after childbirth. By providing a Clean Birth Kit, mothers giving birth at home or with limited medical support have the resources to reduce their exposure to disease and infection. A Clean Birth Kit is a powerful gift of hope, and importantly, a gift that saves lives.
The College is proud to host a Birthing Kit Assembly event on Monday 29 November where we can gather to put together Birthing Kits for distribution to pregnant women living in rural communities and low-resource settings around the world.
Please refer to the attached flyer for details on how you can participate or make a donation to cover the cost of the Clean Birth Kits. For more information about the important work of the Birthing Kit Foundation of Australia visit www.bkfa.org.au
