“Because all women have the right to a clean and safe birth.”
The aim is to raise funds for the Calvary Maternity Unit to assemble 600 birth kits for women in developing countries.
Each kit contains 6 disposable components:
Soap - to wash the birth attendant’s hands and the mother’s perineum
Plastic Sheet - to prevent the mother and newborn coming into contact with the ground or an unhygienic surface
Gloves - to cover the birth attendant’s hands and provide protection from infections such as HIV for carers and care recipients
Gauze - to wipe clear the newborn baby’s eyes, and to clean the mother’s perineum prior to giving birth
Cord ties - to cleanly tie the umbilical cord
Sterile blade - to cut the umbilical cord and reduce risk of newborn tetanus and sepsis
Each kit costs $3 and this includes transport, which is a small price to pay when we consider the resources and costs involved with birth in Australia.
Even if you are unable to make the day we would be grateful for any donations to help fund the cost of the activity.

The Birthing Kit Foundation works in partnership with the Australian community to create a world in which all women and girls have access to a clean and safe birth.
