Around 300,000 women die annually in childbirth - 99% of these live in developing countries. Millions incur injury or infection. But 6 basic items can help to dramatically reduce that number.
Having a child is the most dangerous time in a woman's life. It is estimated that around 300,000 women worldwide die annually from pregnancy or childbirth related complications. Infection, such as sepsis, acquired during or after childbirth is one of the leading causes of maternal and newborn death. Women in remote, vulnerable and remote regions often do not have access to the basics required to prevent complications.
Our Birthing Kit contains a plastic sheet, soap, gloves, a sterile scalpel blade, cord ties and gauze squares. This kit assists with preventable maternal and newborn deaths and helps to prevent infections acquired during or after childbirth. Kits are distributed to a number of approved partners every year in countries we serve in the most remote and vulnerable regions.
Our vision - a world in which all women and girls have access to a clean and safe birth. To date we have distributed over 3 million kits in over 40 countries and trained over 10,000.00 Traditional Birthing Attendants. 300,000.00 kits are our 3-year goal. This will impact 300,000.00 women, their newborns and the communities they live in. Touching over a million lives by helping to keep mother and babies safe and healthy.
