Somalia Famine Warning

Send an Emergency Birth Kit Now

Pregnant women, new mothers and newborns in Somalia urgently need your help

A famine warning in Somalia is putting pregnant women, new mothers and newborns at increasing risk. By providing an Emergency Birth Kit, you can make motherhood safe during humanitarian disasters.

An 'Emergency Birth Kit' can save lives when women are forced to deliver their babies under challenging conditions. These kits contain the supplies needed to prevent infection during childbirth, one of the leading causes of maternal mortality globally.

These kits contain supplies including:

  • soap
  • a sterile plastic sheet
  • a razor blade
  • an umbilical cord tie
  • a blanket
  • latex gloves

In Somalia, one in ten women of childbearing age is likely to be pregnant in the next 12 months. Send an Emergency Birth Kit. Your act of kindness could save a life -- or two.
