Global Health Charities
At Global Health Charities, they believe that all human beings, regardless of socio-economic status, should have access to safe and affordable health care. The organization was founded by Patricia Williams back in 2008, after she spent 18 years working at a Catholic nonprofit international health organization where she personally saw firsthand the discrepancies in healthcare between wealthy and poor communities.
Today, she works to prevent the issues that cause deaths in mothers and newborns who don’t have access to hospitals, healthcare resources, and clean supplies.
GHC’s Clean Birth Kit Program
One of the biggest programs the organization focuses on is the distribution of clean birthing kits. Each one consists of wrapped soap, two pairs of disposable gloves, gauze, antiseptic wipes, a single-edged razor blade with cardboard safety cover, a cord clamp, one plastic sheet, an infant hat, a receiving blanket, and a birth pictorial.
These kits provide mothers and newborns with access to clean birthing supplies, which without statistically leads to 4.5 million infant deaths each year, and 303,000 mother dying during childbirth each year.
Overtime, they have made over 10,000 clean birthing kits that have been distributed throughout 15 different counties.
