FINISH THE FIGHT

Now, more than ever, we are determined to finish what we started. Mothers and babies in 15 countries are depending on Kiwanis. They’re waiting for us to fulfill our pledges — so we can turn promises into funding; funding into vaccines; and vaccines into lives saved and futures protected from maternal and neonatal tetanus. The end of this disease means the beginning of better health for so many of these families.

Every day, 15,000 children die around the world — many from preventable causes like maternal and neonatal tetanus. Luckily, Kiwanis and organizations worldwide support global immunization. Because #VaccinesWork. Kiwanis joins UNICEF USA, LDS Charities, Rotary International, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other organizations in celebration and support of the World Health Organization’s World Immunization Week.

MOTHERS EVERYWHERE

“She stopped feeding. Then my baby was turning blue,” recalls the mother whose baby was the last known case of neonatal tetanus in Solana, Philippines.

WHAT TRUST CAN DO

Before I went to the Philippines in April, I trusted that the money Kiwanians have been donating to The Eliminate Project was going to the right cause at the right time.

A FAMILY ISSUE

I vividly remember the concern I always felt in the back of my mind that the pregnancy was progressing along safely and that both my wife and baby were healthy. These men were no different.

PLANTING SEEDS OF HOPE

I met a woman named Ajok Madut in the remote town of Kuajok in South Sudan. Ajok has given birth seven times, but only three of her children are alive.
