We assembled birthing kits for third world countries to provide a clean birthing environment for mother and child. We sent 200 kits with the University of Buffalo Nursing Mission Project to Ghana and Belize in January 2024 and another two dozen will be taken to Guatemala by a Mission Group in February. We will assemble kits again next spring.
