Birthing Kit Foundation Our club hosts Annual Assembly Days, dedicated to assembling essential birthing kits for women who give birth at home in remote regions of developing countries where there are alarmingly high maternal mortality rates. We recognise the urgency of addressing this issue and strive to make a positive difference.
To gain an understanding of our work, we invite you to watch the YouTube video below. The footage showcases the dedication and teamwork of our committed members and volunteers as they assemble these crucial birthing kits.
