Greetings! Thank you for dropping by the help support 'Blog it for Babies'.
From 29th April - 4th May I will be travelling around England meeting groups of bloggers, vloggers and their friends and family who'll be holding mini-events to raise awareness and money for Build it for Babies.
In Bangladesh, 1 child in 19 will not live to see their 5th birthday. We want to support Save The Children to change that.
In each of the seven Health Centres that Save The Children need to build will be delivery rooms. All money from Blog it for Babies will be used to buy items from the list below. We thought it would be lovely to be able to let people know exactly what the money they have raised will buy.
Baby resuscitation kit - £29 can buy a baby resuscitation kit to deliver vital oxygen to babies born with breathing difficulties
Delivery Kit - £49 can buy a delivery kit - a complete set of equipment for delivering babies safely.
This kit contains: cutting needle, round needle @50p; rubber catheter @ £1; gally pot, tooth dissection forceps @ £2; kidney tray £3; scissors, mosquito artery forceps @ £4; needle bolder @ £5; speculum, forceps @ £6; sponge holding forceps @ £7; foetoscope @ £9
Large instrument tray - £15 can buy a large stainless steel instrument tray to keep medical instruments such as forceps and syringes, hygienic and germ free
Spotlight – £8 can buy a spotlight to light up a room and help our health workers do their vital jobs safely
