The Birthing Kit Foundation

17 October 2019•1 min read

You can help save mothers and babies
Around 300,000 women and 2.5 million newborns die each year from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Most of these deaths occur in developing countries. To help address this, Birthing Kit Foundation Australia provide an opportunity for Australian volunteers to fundraise for and engage in the assembly of Birthing Kits. These birthing kits provide essential tools that assist with safer childbirth – they include the following items; gloves, gauze, plastic sheet, cord ties, soap and a sterile blade.

Each year, our East Melbourne Team hosts a ‘packing event’ at our East Melbourne practice where team, clients, family and friends assemble birthing kits that will be donated.

If you would be interested in attending our packing evening and lending a hand, we would love to see you. Please email eastmelbourne@movebeyond.com.au and let us know that you would like to attend.

Any contribution will make a huge difference to women and babies who aren’t as fortunate as we are in Australia.

For more information, please visit https://www.bkfa.org.au/ or contact our clinic on 9486 0512.
