There are only a few days left to enter – the competition closes on 30 April.
The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) has funded BKFA to develop and manage the assembly and distribution of 30,000 clean birthing kits in three regions in Ethiopia: Shire, Tigray Region; Logyia, Afar Region; and Addis Ababa. This project will create employment opportunities for vulnerable and marginalised women and provide refresher training for Traditional Birth Attendants in Afar Region.
