Zonta Club of Sydney Breakfast and Calmar Corps invite you to our annual Birthing Kit Assembly Day 2023

It is estimated that over 300,000 women (mostly all in developing countries) die annually in childbirth - many from preventable infections. Infections (such as sepsis) acquired during or directly after childbirth, are one of the leading causes of newborn and maternal death.

Good hygiene is critical in eliminating infection during and after childbirth - birthing kits are an internationally accepted intervention to support a clean birth. By providing a clean birthing kit, mothers giving birth at home, or with limited medical support have the resources at hand to reduce infection.

Each item in the Birthing Kit works to reduce infections at key high-risk moments of care during labour, birth and immediately post-birth for the mother, newborn and birth attendant.

Calmar Corps has kindly sponsored this event by purchasing contents for 500 kits!

We now need willing hands to assemble the kits so they can be sent off to women in need.

Please join us for a morning of conversation and action!
