Kits at Home
Pack a Kit. Change a life.
Every day, women around the world give birth without access to clean, safe medical supplies. You can help change that, right from your kitchen table.
Kits at Home is a hands-on activity you can do on your own or with family, friends, or your community, and is a beautiful way to create something that saves lives. We provide all the materials and easy-to-follow instructions, and distribute the results where they are needed the most.
Our Clean Birth Kits are simple, low-cost, and life-saving. Featuring a few simple resources, they help prevent infection and complications during childbirth in places where medical care is limited or unavailable.
What’s in a Clean Birth Kit?
Each kit contains sterile items designed to support a safe delivery:
-
1 biodegradable green plastic sheet (1m x 1m)
-
1 bar of wrapped soap
-
1 pair of gloves
-
3 x 24cm lengths of string
-
1 sterile scalpel blade (wrapped)
-
5 gauze squares
All kits are packed into a small biodegradable bag—because helping people shouldn’t harm the planet.
An ideal activity for:
- Family gatherings – celebrate a mother or baby with your loved ones.
- Social clubs – easily completed around the dining table with plenty of chance to chat!
- Aged care homes and retirement communities – boost connection and engagement for residents.
- Youth and faith groups – raise awareness for social justice issues.
- Cosy winter nights in with a podcast, audio book or Netflix on the side!
If you can work at a table you can pack clean birth kits. This activity is suitable for children too, aged 10 and up with adult supervision.
