UMCOR Health
Kit
Value: $12.00 per kit
Health kits provide basic
necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes
because of human conflict or natural disaster. Health kits are
also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy,
nutrition and cooking classes. When people gain the knowledge
and materials to maintain personal hygiene, their overall health
improves.

Important Kit Assembly Information
- All items included in kits must be NEW
items.
- All emergency kits are carefully planned
to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since
strict rules often govern product entry into international
countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested
items-nothing more.
- Do NOT include any personal notes, money
or additional materials in the kits. These things must be
painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
