Zonta Club of Blackall Range are holding their 15th annual Birthing Kits packing morning on Saturday 20th May, at the RSL Maleny, from 09.30. To date 2 ½ million kits have been packed and distributed to over 30 countries globally, helping to give women a safe birth and a healthy baby.
Birthing Kits was started by a Zonta Adelaide Club and has grown into a Foundation which has trained 10,000 local birth attendants and midwives, and provided work and income for the local community.
The Kit contains a plastic sheet, scalpel, gauze, rubber gloves, string – all of this for $5. The women who receive these Kits are the lucky ones, since they are able to have their baby in a relatively clean environment.
If you are able, we would love to see you on Saturday, 20th May.
