<p>Clean water and sterile instrumentation are rare commodities during winter blockades. Clean Delivery Kits have become our primary shield, preventing neonatal tetanus in over twenty home births this past year alone.</p>
Deep in the rocky terrains of Humla, cold conditions and extreme geographical disconnects frequently make institutional delivery at regional hospitals impossible. Nepal CRS's Clean Delivery Kits are prepositioned with trained local volunteers who distribute them to expectant mothers, ensuring sterile materials for safe delivery even when locked out by snowstorms.
