We shared in our January newsletter that we received 284 midwife kits from Direct Relief. These kits are full of essential items to support safe deliveries. Our team on the ground spent two weeks delivering these kits to 97 facilities all across northern Haiti. Those who received the kits were so grateful, knowing they are better equipped now at their birthing facilities and as midwives. These kits will support safer deliveries for 14,200 births.
We heard from a number of the medical directors and midwives receiving these kits. Here is what they had to say,
"The kits are really wonderful, and will be so helpful for us."
"We are so thankful for these kits. I want to thank those who made it possible for us to receive this Midwife Kit. I was shocked to see the contents when I opened the box. This will be very helpful for us."
"Thank you for thinking of those of us here in Haiti working in Healthcare. This kit will help us so much. Thank you."
