Package baby delivery kits for pregnant mothers

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Muzalema Mwanza, I am the last born in a family of four and I am married with one baby boy. I am a civil engineer by profession and my late father always encouraged me to chase my dreams.

As a new mother, I learned of the difficult requirements that rural Zambian clinics impose on expectant mothers to provide their own tools for giving birth such as a scalpel blade, sterile gloves, and birthing mat for delivery of their babies. I managed to buy the things they require and gave birth to a beautiful boy in 2016, after which i realized that for many months I had a hard time finding these products all in one place so I established Safe Motherhood Alliance, a social enterprise to package and distribute sterile materials for childbirth for pregnant women in low-income communitiesand rural areas.

My Business

We provide Baby Delivery Kits to pregnant women in low-income communities and rural areas to ensure and improve safe births by developing a simple, low-cost, disposable delivery kit for pregnant women that will be used during childbirth because everyday in Zambia, hundreds of mothers and babies die at childbirth because mothers have to provide their own birthing materials. But with the baby delivery kits, mothers can rest easy knowing their newborns will be free from using unsterilized,-materials.

Loan Proposal

Everyday in Zambia, hundreds of mothers and babies die at childbirth. A big part of the problem is the lack of access to sterile supplies in rural communities where over 5 million women live and work as well as the broken healthcare chain affecting those areas.
Our packaged baby delivery kit solution is convenient and available to women at the time of childbirth. We work to ensure every baby gets an opportunity to live his or her potential and every other gets the opportunity to watch her baby grow. One delivery kit ensures a safe delivery, creates behavioral change and offers economic empowerment to a birth attendant. We will buy stock like gloves, disinfectant to package kits with $50, and the balance will be used to package the kits.
