Give to Caritas Australia’s Safer Births Giving Day now
This is your opportunity to be part of an extraordinary day of giving. Today is Caritas Australia’s Safer Births Giving Day, a one-day-only offer where every dollar you donate will be matched by an exceptionally generous philanthropic supporter.
Today, you can change the lives of rural mothers and babies.
In rural Bangladesh, access to a local hospital or medical care is limited. This makes the risk of stillbirth heartbreakingly high, with a mother losing a baby during childbirth every eight minutes.
Childbirth should bring joy, not loss.
Please donate today to double your impact in helping provide delivery kits to rural midwives in training
Every day that passes without access to trained birth support puts more babies, and their mothers, at risk.
Please donate now to double your impact and train more midwives to save more lives.
