Midwifery Kits for Afghanistan

Found on the Midwifery Supplies Canada website

Buy a kit for a midwife in Afghanistan!

The Afghanistan Midwifery Project aims to train midwives to serve the women in their communities. Afghanistan has one of the highest rates of infant and maternal mortality in the world. By providing local midwives with skills and equipment, this project aims to provide women with a source of income and independence, while at the same time creating positive change for the health of women in their region.

All kits bought on their page will be sent to Afghanistan, and not mailed to you.
