THESE BAGS HELP SAVE LIVES

Infection is a leading cause of death among mothers and newborns worldwide.
But with clean birth conditions and skilled birth attendants, nearly half a million lives can be saved.

HOW SAFE BIRTH GIVING WORKS

  • STEP 1:

    Match funds

    We use money from TOMS Bags purchases to support our Giving Partners' programs in maternal health.

  • STEP 2:

    Provide training
    + materials

    Community health workers are trained on safe birth practices and given the materials needed to help provide a safe birth. These skilled birth attendants then visit expectant mothers in their communities to monitor their pregnancies.

  • STEP 3:

    Save lives

    With training and proper materials to provide a safer delivery, mothers are up to 80% less likely to develop an infection. Almost half of newborn deaths can be prevented.
