About Me:
 
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.

WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A BABY'S LIFE?

Prepare
Grow your club. A strong club will be better prepared to take on the challenges of the campaign. The more Kiwanians who are united in the cause, the greater our ability to eliminate this devastating disease.

Not a Kiwanis member? Become involved in your local club or start a new club in your community to eliminate MNT.

Educate
Educate yourself about MNT, and share what you learn with your club, your community, your family and your school.

Advocate
Let the world know that the poorest, most vulnerable babies and mothers need our help. Rally others to get involved. Add a link to www.TheEliminateProject.org on your club website.

Invest
Be among the first to invest in this global campaign for children. Make an initial gift today.

Eliminate
Over the next five years, the work you do to eliminate MNT will change the world. Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF will eliminate MNT and give the poorest families the chance to lead the healthy lives they deserve.
