Birthing Kit Assembly Day & Fundraiser

Help us reach our goal and assemble 1,000 birthting kits. This is a assembly day and fundraiser for Glendale Sunrise Rotary in support of Aid Africa.

It’s an incredible human tragedy. Each year, 500,000 African babies die on the first day of their lives, and 1 in 13 women in Sub-Saharan Africa die of causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Infection following delivery is the leading cause of death among these mothers and newborns. But the risk of infection can be greatly reduced by providing the most basic elements of medical sanitation during childbirth… soap, a clean blade to cut the umbilical cord, a clean cord to tie the umbilical cord, and a clean sheet for the mother and baby to lie on after delivery.

Each kit is just $10 including shipping, and will save the lives of a mother and her child. Can you sponsor 1, 2, or 5? Or maybe join with friends or co-workers to sponsor 10, 20 or more?
