Project Report | Jul 16, 2018
Providing proper care for birthing mothers

By Catriona Neil-Dwyer | Fundraising and Marketing Manager

1200 kits were recently received and distributed in multiple community settings by our field partner, Egoli Africa, Uganda

 Egoli Africa is clear about what the distribution of birthing kits can achieve

  • Women shall not be denied help during birthgiving at hospitals
  • Women are aware of the importance of safe birthgiving
  • Women are aware of the importance of good hygiene
  • Infant and maternal mortality is reduced
  • Clean and safe birthgiving is promoted
  • More women will seek assistance of professionals during pregnancy and during birthgiving

 Birthing kits were given directly to pregnant mothers with those mothers informed by village health teams and health centre staff about the use of the birthing kits and the importance of hygiene during and after birthgiving

Egoli Africa says that the supply of birthing kits

“helps health centres to give proper care to women during birthgiving. Health centres almost always never have birthing kits in stock, yet women are supposed to have them and cannot afford them”

Pictured here arewomen from the community of Busanga village, where the Birthing Kits were distributed with the help of a local health centre.
