AYZH’s JANMA kits have gotten a lot of attention.  They are profiled by OpenIDEO, Kopernik and Maternova for their innovative answer to improving maternal health in a sustainable way.

They are also working with Catapult Design to develop a new scalpel that is:

• Less expensive.
• Discourages reuse.
• Branded with the AYZH logo.
• Is biodegradable (preferred).

Eleos International, started in 2003, has health projects in Tanzania, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and Mexico.  They also supply clean birth kits to “remote areas of the world where women are giving birth in the dirt, using blades of grass to tie the umbilical cord and possibly the household machete to cut the cord.”  They seem to be religiously affiliated.

UMCOR, The United Methodist Committee on Relief, is the humanitarian aid arm of the United Methodist Church.  They work all over the world in areas hit by natural disaster and war. They have a clean birth kit project, summarized here.

Bodhi Tree provides clean birth kits (CBKs), as part of their health and nutritional education programming in the Bodhgaya region of India.  They do academic and vocational training as well.  Check them out.

PSI does a ton of amazing work.  In the area of Reproductive Health, they have had some great success:

In 2009 alone, PSI prevented an estimated 3.5 million unintended pregnancies and over 17,000 maternal deaths, and enabled millions of couples to plan their families.

Clean Delivery Kits are just one of the many reproductive interventions offered by PSI. PSI offers clean delivery kits in Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Uganda.
