Birthing Kit Foundation Australia

For as little as $3 you can provide a clean and safe birth to women in underdeveloped countries, resulting in a better start to life for their child.

Over 3 million babies die each year due to preventable birth-related infections.

BKFA Birthing Kits are a simple and effective tool for basic infection prevention and first-line childbirth care. The components are selected in line with global best practice and consist only of the essential items required to support the documented 6 principles of cleanliness at birth for mothers in high-risk and emergency settings.

Disposable Delivery Kits are recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as an essential tool for use by birth attendants when a delivery occurs at home, and particularly in emergency settings.

There is evidence from around the world demonstrating that these kits prevent childbirth-related infections and also act to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies by removing barriers and supporting mothers to access health services.

In many low-resource settings health facilities are not adequately equipped with clean supplies so kits can also be used to resource and improve the basic cleanliness of these environments.
