Could you forgo a $5 coffee to potentially save the life
of a mother and baby in a third world country?
The Zonta Club of Geelong are calling on the community
to support our Birthing Kit project again this year and help
raise the $5000 we need to make 1000 birthing kits.
These small kits, being assembled in the photo, consist of
a large sheet of plastic, gauze, soap, rubber gloves, string
and a sterilised scalpel packed in a zip lock bag.
The kits cost $5 each to assemble and ship via the Birthing Kit Foundation to women
in countries less fortunate than ours who have no hospitals or birthing facilities for
their babies.
The little kits provide a clean sterile package that helps protect the mother and baby
from infections and bacteria like tetanus.
For how to donate please go to the Donation Tab a the top of the page and follow
the instructions
