In rural Tamil Nadu, women have little to no access to healthcare during and after their pregnancy. The postnatal period is vital to both mothers and newborn babes. Most maternal and infant deaths occur during this time and there can be missed opportunities to promote healthy behaviours. Salt of the Earth is committed to supporting mothers during this time.

This gift will fund a post-natal care kit that will be provided to a mother who is about to deliver a child. The kit contains items that will support the mother and baby during the six-to-eight-week post-natal period.

The pack contains; a baby mosquito net, a cotton towel, clothing, nappies, paracetamol drops, and iron drops for the baby. For the mother, the kit includes sanitary products, iron tonic and a health mix drink.

Our charity has been supporting vulnerable rural mothers in South India for decades.

Give an alternative gift and help a rural mother and their baby.
