We are excited to announce that our recent birthing kit packing event was a wonderful success! With immense support from our community of packers, including Anne, Lisa, Belinda, Tara, Abbas and Mark, we managed to assemble 300 essential birthing kits for the upcoming Carnival cruise in November. Our goal is to send as many birthing and dignity kits to Kiriwina as we can, and every contribution plays a crucial role in achieving this.
A special shoutout to Carnival for their commitment to transporting these donations every year; their support is vital in helping us deliver these essential kits. As many of you are aware, shipping costs are exorbitant. By agreeing to accept our donations, Carnival enables us to allocate funds for other essential resources, such as solar lanterns for village birth attendants, water tanks, as well as salaries and training sessions for trained midwives and VBAs, and many other essential items.
We genuinely appreciate everyone who dedicated their time, resources, and enthusiasm to make this event a success. Together, we are significantly impacting maternal health and wellness in our communities.
Stay tuned for more updates on how you can continue to support this vital cause!!
