In February 2007, we delivered 200 birthing kits donated by Zonta International to traditional birth attendants in the Aweil region of South Sudan. These birthing kits help to provide a clean birthing site which may decrease the risk of maternal and infant death through infection. The birthing kits were received with much excitement and even a statement of “How do those people all the way over there (in Australia) know what we need here to deliver a baby!” The birth attendant indicated great interest in receiving more birthing kits, and as such it is hoped that we will be able to make this an ongoing project.
