The kits which are extremely affordable, contain best brands and are developed based on Brown Button’s core beliefs that:

·         The location of a woman at childbirth should never be a predominant factor in determining whether she lives or dies

·         No woman or child should die at childbirth

Brown Button Foundation, a 2013 United Nations’ World Summit Youth Award shortlist as well as a 2011 Echoing Green Award Semi finalist, has been working in the field of Maternal and Child Health since 2011 with a focus on providing simple life saving solutions that can easily be owned and sustained by the populace themselves. They train traditional and skilled birth attendants and continue to work with individuals, organisations and government at different levels to promote maternal and child health.

 In 2012, Brown Button Foundation visited Zamfara State and met a newborn who had been infected with tetanus as a result of a rusted razor blade used to cut his umbilical cord. Since 2011, the organisation has realised that a need exist for not only skilled health care workers and facilities but also life saving supplies at the most affordable cost. With these kits, they believe that the dream of a clean, healthy and safe birth place minimizing the risk of infection can come true.

While they have some distributors covering specific locations for the sales of the kits, they are open to getting many more distributors across Nigeria to help them connect the woman in need to the life saving supplies she needs.
