KITS

clean birth kits

We work in partnership with the East Sepik Provincial Health Authority to distribute clean birth kits, supplied by Birthing Kit Foundation Australia, to remote health facilities. Click here to learn more about the power of CBKs!

The kits are made up of several simple, but life-saving items:

• a clean piece of plastic

• a pair of gloves

• a small piece of soap

• 3 pieces of clean string

• a sterile scalpel blade

• 5 pieces of gauze

menstruation kits

We provide reusable/washable Days 4 Girls menstruation kits, as well as access to care and education, to young women in local high schools, remote villages, postnatal wards and the Provincial women’s prison.

Each kit has:

• 2 sets of washable sanitary napkins and liners

• 2 pairs of underwear, soap, a face washer

• a large ziplock bag to separately wash the soiled napkins

• a large drawstring bag to hold all the items

HEALTH FACILITIES & EQUIPMENT

Many remote health facilities lack the necessities needed to provide a quality service (e.g. power, running water, medical equipment). We are committed to providing these essential items, including:

• Solar lighting and power

• Blood pressure machines

• Stethoscopes

• Fetal dopplers

• Beds

• Stainless steel instruments

We continue to purchase equipment as funds are available, from in-country providers where possible.
