Clean Childbirth Kits for Third World Mothers
$15.00
In parts of the world where sterile, reliable medical equipment is simply unattainable for pregnant women living in poverty, every birth carries an increased risk of infection and eventual maternal death, or even the death of the baby. For women in poverty-stricken areas served by Partners In Health (PIH), access to simple, clean childbirth equipment can literally mean the difference between life and death.
Purchase of this Gift That Gives More™ provides three birth and maternity kits for mothers-to-be in Haiti, Rwanda, Malawai, or Lesotho. The birth kits contain exam gloves, razors, umbilical cord clamp, sterile gauze, washcloth, and soap or antibacterial wipes.
