Rotary - Canberra Sundowners Birthing Kits Packing 2024 (SOLD OUT)
About
Join our celebration of Rotary’s Maternal and Child Health month (April) to purchase and pack 2000+ birthing kits for use by pregnant women in rural communities and low-resource settings around the world.Each kit contains key items to assist a birth in a remote area without access to hospitals. The birthing kits are shipped by the Birthing Kit Foundation Australia to regions in need of this type of support and have been proven to save the lives of both mothers and new-borns.
We are running three packing shifts on 4th May with a morning and two shorter afternoon shifts. We have capacity for about 60 people per shift.
Each kit costs $5. While we have some generous sponsors locked in, additional financial support will increase our impact. If you are able to donate to support the event, there is an option to do so on the booking page.
More information on Birthing Kits are available at https://www.bkfa.org.au/.
