The Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia) is a humanitarian organisation that provides birthing kits and education in clean birthing practices to women birthing at home in remote regions of the developing world.

We work in partnership with communities across Australia and around the world to pack and supply Clean Birth Kits to pregnant women living in rural communities and low-resource settings. To date, more than 3 million Clean Birth Kits have been distributed to women in need.

Kits are packed by volunteers in Australia and internationally, assembled by trusted partners in-country, or supplied during emergency responses. They are then given to mothers through community outreach programs, supplied to health facilities for use by doctors, midwives and nurses, or distributed to trained birth attendants.

Each kit is designed to support hygienic practices during childbirth and help reduce the risk of infection in under-resourced settings.

We have supplied over 3 million clean birth kits to women in remote regions of over 30 countries, trained over 10,000 traditional birth attendants and contributed to the prevention of FGM in communities that were killing their women in childbirth. The impact of our work can not be underestimated, with many unexpected benefits for the women and communities we support. You can find out more here.
