Birthing Kits Assembly Day

The Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia) is a humanitarian organisation that provides birthing kits and education in clean birthing practices to women birthing at home in remote regions of the developing world.

Zonta Mackay is proud to work in partnership with the Birthing Kit Foundation to pack and supply Clean Birth Kits to pregnant women living in rural communities and low-resource settings around the world. To date, 2.8 million Clean Birth Kits have been distributed to women in need. Kits are given to mothers through community outreach programs, supplied to health facilities for use by doctors, midwives and nurses or distributed to traditional birthing attendants. They are designed to support hygienic practices and environments during childbirth in under-resourced settings. These kits have many other uses and we know, that they are quite literally saving lives.

This year, Zonta Club of Mackay has purchased 1,500 kits and we need your help to pack them, ready for distribution.

If you'd like to volunteer some time to help us pack these kits, please join us on Sunday August 24th from 9am.
