The Birthing Kit Foundation Australia (BKFA) 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.
The Foundation makes available items that can be assembled into birthing kits to be sent overseas to developing countries, or those in a state of disaster. These kits offer hygienic basics to assist in the delivery of a baby.
It is proposed that we hold a 'Birthing Kit Assembly day' late in April/early May to make up 200 kits. The Club will purchase the materials for the kits from the Foundation.
After we assemble them, a courier will collect them to be shipped overseas to those in need, funded by the Foundation.
200 kits will assist in saving the lives of 200 mums and their babies.
