DID YOU KNOW? The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 500,000 women die each year from infections associated with childbirth. Nearly 1 million newborns die annually from infection, the majority in developing countries.

Because they are too poor to afford medical care — or the hospital is too far away – many women are forced to give birth on the dirt floors in their homes. 

Even those who are fortunate enough to deliver at a hospital or medical clinic often don’t have any of the supplies they or their new child will need. Most of these women live on less than $1.90 a day.

That’s why the Baby Shower Gift Kit is so crucial for these vulnerable women. Your gift of $215 will help these new moms experience the joy of receiving their only baby shower gift … from you. The kit will provide …

For the newborn:

•  A hospital bag

• Receiving blanket

• Cloth diapers

• Mosquito net

• (6) cotton sheets

• (5) onesies

• (3) baby outfits

• Crib blankets

• Wash cloths 

For the new mother: 

• (500g) cotton

• Rolls of gauze

• Delivery mat

• Receiving sheet

• (5) pairs of surgical gloves

• Maternity pads for labor and delivery 

These baby gift kits will show the love of Jesus to homeless mothers, rape victims, pre-teen/teen mothers, single moms, abandoned mothers and moms with unwanted pregnancies. Your act of kindness and generosity may be the only gift some of these young women have ever received.

Please donate today and help a new or expectant mom and her baby have a happy start to their life together.
