EVERY woman has the right to a clean and safe childbirth.

This statement is at the core of Warwick Zonta Club's yearly project assembling a thousand birthing kits for the Australian Birthing Kit Foundation.

Zonta Member Sally Carr said more volunteers were welcomed to join the assembly day tomorrow morning at the PGC Dining Hall on Locke St.

"A Zonta member in South Australia actually designed the birthing kit and lots of clubs do them as a project," Mrs Carr said.

"I think a lot of women in Warwick and Australia do take it for granted - we had one of the boarding mistresses at Scots from Zimbabwe explain when women are pregnant they take off into the bush to give birth and just take a kit with them. 

"It's so different to what we expect here."

While the kits provide an essential service to women in disadvantaged communities around the world, the kits are relatively simple

Each kit contains soap, latex gloves, three pieces of cord, a scalpel blade and five pieces of sterile gauze, as well as a plastic sheet to keep women off the ground.

"At our Australia Day fundraiser we raise money for the birthing kits, which are about $3," Mrs Carr said.

"We like to raise about $3000 so we can buy at least a thousand kits from the Birthing Kit Foundation.

"We package all the kits and send them back to the Birthing Kit Foundation who distribute them around the world, to places like Chad in Africa and Afghanistan and wherever else they're needed.

"We get a lot of students from Scots, Assumption and Warwick High and other volunteers so we get about 60 volunteers on the day, but always welcome more.

"It all takes a couple of hours and then we have a morning tea."

The assembly day will kick of at 9.30am tomorrow at the PGC Dining Hall.
