Zonta Club of Bundaberg Birthing Kit Assembly Day

Every hour, 33 women die from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth - many from preventable infections. That's 385,000 lives lost every year.

The Zonta Club of Bundaberg is hosting a birthing kit assembly day where we plan on packaging 1000 kits to be sent to pregnant women in developing countries - and we are encouraging members of the public to join us.

Each kits contains essential items: plastic sheeting, gauze, string, a blade, soap and gloves. These basic supplies can mean the difference between life and death for mothers and newborns.

When: Saturday 6th December at 10am
Where: CQUniversity Refectory, 6 University Drive Branyan
This is a free event.

Light refreshments will be provided.
