Two feminist geniuses are saving thousands of newborns
The developing world sees as many as 99% of newborn and maternal deaths worldwide.

Their plan takes Toms Shoes and Warby Parker a step further.

And for the record, as the article notes a bit further down–they’re not doing a facile “donate shit people don’t need or could make/buy locally and support their own local economy” Toms Shoes approach. They’re supplying these neonatal kits to local health workers in two locations to distribute to women who need them.
