Haiti needs Birthing Kits

Birthing Kit Assembly and Shipping Instructions
Birthing kits provide the essential items to promote a safe, clean delivery and to encourage good aftercare. Birthing Kit items Value $8 per kit.

Place these items inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag.

• 1 hotel-size bar of soap (1 oz. and up)
• 1 pair of clean latex gloves
• 1 square yard of clear 4 mil plastic sheeting
• 3 pieces of clean string each 12" long
• 1 clean single use razor blade (carefully wrap the blade in paper or plastic to protect it and keep it from causing injury)
• 2 flannelette receiving blankes, each 1 square yard

Important Kit Assembly Information

• All items included in kit must be NEW items.
• All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more.
• Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These extra items must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

Packing Kits

• Box Weight. Each packed box cannot exceed 66 pounds.

Shipping Kits

• Complete 2 packing lists-one for your records and one to put on the shipping box.
• Paste the shipping label/packing list on the outside of each box you send. The shipping list helps the depot to quickly process kits.
• Processing and Shipping. Please enclose an envelope containing at least $1 for each kit you send. This donation enables kits to be sent without delay to areas in need.
