Serving Our World
Local passion. Global impact.
In 2010, Kiwanis International launched The Eliminate Project:
Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus.
In partnership with UNICEF, Kiwanis’ global campaign for children will eliminate a disease that kills one baby every nine minutes.
The organization is also working to raise US$110 million by the end of 2015. Kiwanis club are playing a part-with service projects and fundraising activities.
With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.
Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.
It’s the kind of opportunity that enriches the Kiwanis experience. And it’s the kind of local focus that makes a world of difference
