ABOUT THE ELIMINATE PROJECT
Every 17 minutes, a newborn baby dies from tetanus. That short lifetime is marked by pain — babies suffer an extreme sensitivity to light, sound or contact that prevents even a mother’s touch.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. In 2010, the Kiwanis family partnered with UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) through a joint effort called The Eliminate Project. As of July 30, 2019, The Eliminate Project has raised more than US$86 million.
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is an easy — and fun — way for the Kiwanis family to raise money to protect moms and babies from this deadly disease.
Since 2010, we’ve helped eliminate MNT in 26 countries. Every year, 24,000 more babies are born unaffected by tetanus. And millions of mothers have been vaccinated.
But the fight is not over. MNT still affects moms and babies in the 13 countries that are hardest to reach.
Now, it’s more important than ever. This Halloween, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF to save and protect lives.
