The Eliminate Project
Kiwanis New World Wide Project
The Kiwanis Club of Scarborough is joining forces with Kiwanis members across the globe in an effort to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT), a painful disease that kills one baby every nine minutes, or 160 newborns each day.
The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus is a global campaign that will save and protect the lives of millions of mothers and their future babies. The disease is typically contracted through unhygienic childbirth practices. The goal of the project is to eliminate this swift, painful and highly preventable disease by vaccinating women of childbearing age, which will not only protect the mothers, but also their future babies.
As the world’s largest single donor, Kiwanis International is raising US $110 million by 2015 for the project, which will ultimately protect at least 61 million women and their future babies who are at risk of this deadly disease. The funding supports UNICEF and its partners who have already eliminated MNT in 20 countries. With Kiwanis’ global volunteer network, along with UNICEF’s field staff and technical expertise.
The Eliminate Project will serve those who live in developing countries where health care is limited—and wipe out this cruel, centuries-old disease. For US $1.80 we can protect a mother and her future babies from this deadly but preventable disease.
