With the purchase of a wine bottle, in combined forces with families, friends and fellow retractors and rotarians we financed birthing kits in Nigeria!
This social project has ended after two successful rounds. Thank you for your support! We keep this page alive for information about the project setup. If you have any questions, please reach out via the “contact us” page.
New life should be celebrated!
But to this day, around 800 mothers die every day at birth or due to complications in their pregnancy. 99% of these deaths happen in developing countries, and most of them are preventable.
In order to protect new life and their families, the proceeds from this fundraiser are used to finance birthing kits for midwives in Nigeria. The funded birthing kits contain sterilized equipment for midwives and one birthing kit costs around 35 EUR. Each birthing kit guarantees one safer home birth.

Background Information on the Social Service Project
Rotaract Frankfurt/Main-International is gathering resources to acquire birthing kits to support the Rotarian Action Group for Reproductive Maternal and Child Health (RMCH) in the project region, Southwest Nigeria. We, therefore, came up with the idea to sell wine bottles that are regionally sourced and donate the proceeds.
Rotaract Frankfurt/Main-International Club aims to support the Rotarian Action Group for Reproductive Maternal and Child Health (RMCH) by engaging in one of the biggest Rotarian individual projects, the Comprehensive Family Planning Campaign in Nigeria. The project closely cooperates with the Nigerian Health Ministry, the World Health Organization, and the German Federal Ministry for economic development and cooperation (BMZ). German Federal Minister Dr. Gerd Müller visited the project in February 2020 in a hospital near the capital Abuja.
The project has three core elements, which are 1) the Obstetric Quality Assurance (OQA) according to international standard, 2) the establishment of a Nigerian Nigerian-OQA-Network, which combines hospital- up to governmental dimensions, and 3) community dialogues. Rotaract Frankfurt/Main-International aims to support the first objective, assuring obstetric quality. Obstetric Quality is important because it protects the health of mother and child during delivery. To achieve a standard in obstetric services across Nigeria, birthing kits are in use. These kits contain the most needed sterile products to secure sanitary delivery in health and birthing facilities. The advantages of these kits are that they bring a basic level of hygiene for a moderate price, they can be transported and stored easily, and are a reliable way of supporting OQA across a country or region.
