Day 143 - Clean Birthing Kit

As part of the Be the Change, Save a Life, an ABC News Initiative, the the United Nations Population Fund focuses on reproductive health, gender equality and population studies.   One of the basic supplies, a Clean Birthing Kit, provides a bar of soap, clear plastic sheet, razor blade, an umbilical cord tie, cloth and latex gloves to help deliver safe babies in crisis situations.  A small amount of money ($11) will provide 3 of these kits in countries such as Darfur, in refugee camps and during natural disasters.  I took advantage of Bonus Day during which all donations were matched by Global Giving.
