Give a Special Mother's Day Gift. Honor a Mother and Help an Expectant Mother

This Mother’s Day you can honor a woman you care about by providing a life-saving gift to mothers and babies in Zambia. A donation of $10 purchases two Clean Delivery Kits (CDKs) that will be given to expectant mothers who come to Namwianga Mission Hospital for prenatal visits. Many of these mothers who receive the CDKs will not have access to a hospital or clinic for labor and delivery.

Every day thousands of women in Zambia give birth with only the help of an untrained attendant or family member—or with no help at all. Many of these deliveries take place at home, often in small dark huts in remote villages. Infection is common in these conditions and causes many maternal and infant deaths each year. Clean Delivery Kits are a simple and effective way to save the lives of mothers and babies by reducing infection. Each kit comes with simple, easy-to-use items that can reduce the risk of infection for both mother and baby.

When you make a Mother’s Day donation for Clean Delivery Kits, we will send an acknowledgment with a description of your gift to the person(s) you choose to honor. You can select a traditional Mother’s Day card that we will mail or a floral email card.
