The Zonta Club of Jamestown continues its work to provide birthing kits for expectant mothers in developing countries.

Zonta International organization is service-based and comprised of women dedicated to making a positive impact in their community and around the world. For the past 11 years, the Zonta Club of Jamestown has been an enthusiastic participant in one of their projects, which consists of creating birthing kits. Once completed, the kits will be distributed to expectant mothers in developing countries. A birthing kit is a simple, yet crucial, collection of items needed for a safe delivery. It includes items such as soap, a sterile blade for cutting the umbilical cord, clean cloths for wrapping the baby, and a sheet to use as a clean surface for delivery. These items are essential in areas where there may not be access to basic medical supplies or clean facilities.

The project has been well-received by the community, with many people offering their time and resources to help put together the birthing kits. The club has also received donations from local businesses and organizations, which will go towards purchasing the necessary supplies for the kits.
