Too many pregnant women are forced to give birth in the face of war, violence, disaster, and uncertainty. Humanitarian disasters leave many homeless or separated from their family and support systems shortly before they go into labor.

UNFPA ensures these mothers can have a safe delivery by providing them with Emergency Birth Kits.

These kits contain a bar of soap, a plastic sheet, a razor blade, an umbilical cord tie, cloth, and latex gloves — basic items that provide mothers with a sanitary place to give birth and the tools to care for themselves and their babies after delivery.

Emergency Birth Kits cost only $5 to make, but have a priceless impact on the women and newborns they help. Will you make your first gift of 2026 to deliver Emergency Birth Kits and other maternal healthcare to mothers in the most dangerous places to give birth? [[link removed]?]

Ginalyn was 9 months pregnant when torrential rains, biting wind, and landslides forced her and her family to leave their home in the Philippines. She raced up the side of the mountain during Typhoon Oompong to reach an evacuation center. “My feet were so painful and my belly was hard,” she said.

At the evacuation center, UNFPA gave Ginalyn an Emergency Birth Kit so that wherever she was evacuated to, she could deliver her baby safely.

Jacqueline was in her last trimester of pregnancy, taking care of her 1-year old son, and hadn’t heard from her husband in 7 months. Her family was part of the 1.4 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo who had been displaced due to violence.

Health systems broke down, making it nearly impossible for pregnant women like Jacqueline to receive prenatal care. When she was finally able to reach a UNFPA clinic, she received an Emergency Birth Kit so she could safely give birth when her baby came.

Luckily, Ginaly and Jacqueline had Emergency Birth Kits to help safely deliver their babies. But every day, more than 500 women die in humanitarian crisis zones from preventable maternal deaths.

You can start the year on a high note by providing care to as many girls and women as we can reach. Will you deliver lifesaving care by making a gift to supply $5 Emergency Birth Kits and other maternal healthcare today? [[link removed]?]

SUPPLY 9 EMERGENCY BIRTH KITS = $45 [[link removed]]

SUPPLY 18 EMERGENCY BIRTH KITS = $90 [[link removed]]

SUPPLY 26 EMERGENCY BIRTH KITS = $130 [[link removed]]

Your act of compassion today will bring more hope and dignity to pregnant women in crisis settings. Thank you for being there this new year.
