The “Maama Kit” is designed to help women in Uganda deliver their babies safely. Having this kit means that mother and baby’s risk of infection, and other complications during labor and delivery are greatly reduced. Ugandan women going into labor are required to bring the “Mama kit” with them before they can even be seen by a physician. Without it, they are not allowed to delivery safely in a hospital.

The kit costs less than 20,000 Ugandan Schillings (UGX) ($10 USD) but for many Ugandan women, this is simply out of reach.  

We believe that every mother should have the opportunity to bring her child into this world safely.  Because of this, James Fox Co. is partnering with the GEM Foundation in Kampala, Uganda to help purchase and distribute the “Maama Kits” to mothers in need.

Your purchase will provide 1 Maama Kit that includes the following items:

• Preparation Sheet

• Gloves to prevent bacterial infections and HIV

• New Razor Blades to cut the umbilical cord

• Bars of Soap

• Cotton wool for cleaning the mother and child

• Cord Ties

• Plastic sheet on which the mother gives birth

• Child Growth Card

• Guide for a clean and healthy birth

----------

A portion of your purchase price goes to the Gem Foundation to cover their time and cost for distributing these much needed kits. Together we can make a difference as MOTHERS HELPING MOTHERS.   

Much love to you & yours!
