Birthing Kits

The Zonta Club of St. Catharines along with the Zonta Club of Niagara Falls, Ontario, meet to assemble birthing kits a few times a year. Once completed the kits are sent to midwives, health workers and nurses in rural areas of developing countries. These kits provide the essential items to promote a safe, clean delivery and to encourage good aftercare. Each year we completed between 800 and 1000 birthing kits destined for third world countries.
