Hurrah!  At last! I found this list from UMCOR with very specific instructions for putting together for assembling and donating a Clean Birth Kit.  Thanks UMCOR!

Assembly Directions

Fold the plastic sheeting and blankets so they will fit easily into the plastic bag. Lay the loose items on top of the blankets and plastic sheeting. Slide all items into the plastic bag. Squeeze as much air out of the bag and then seal it.

Important Notes

‐ All items must be new.
‐ Do not wash any of the items as they will be considered used.
‐ All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items – nothing more.
‐ DO NOT include any personal notes, money or additional material in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

Packing Kits

• Box Weight. Each packed box cannot exceed 66 pounds.

Shipping Kits

1. Complete 2 packing lists-one for your records and one to put on the shipping box.
2. Paste the shipping label / packing list on the outside of each box you send. The shipping list helps the depot to quickly process kits.

Here’s a link to Birth Kit Foundation Australia’s birth kit assembly day video.

Here’s what I’ve learned.

HQ gets the supplies wholesale and then sends them to local groups who will have volunteers assemble the kits.

The volunteers sign in and “thoroughly” wash hands.

The coordinator washes the tables and puts piles of supplies on the tables.

First: Fold plastic (comes in “blocks” 100 pieces ~ 1meter sq) and folded and put into small seal bag

Hygene important.  All volunteers put on gloves and doesnt touch face, hair while assembling.

5 guaze pieces to wipe baby’s eyes.

Gloves for attendant and soap.

Ties for umbilical cord. Cord tied in 2 places but 3 20cm pieces are given.

Single use.

30-40 volunteers can make 1000 in 2 hours.
