A Second Opportunity to Change History


Close your eyes…

The first word that you think of, when you hear the word home.

Your favorite memory of playing with your friends when you were a young child.One word that

describes how you feel when participating in your favorite activity.

One person that is important to you in your

life.One dream you hope to accomplish in your lifetime.


Hand in hand, Kiwanis and UNICEF will eliminate MNT and change the world. Kiwanis' commitment, vision and strength in reaching communities and leaders will help wipe out this cruel, centuries-old disease and pave the way for other interventions.

These funds are now at work in more than 103 nations.

80 million children in the developing world will be born free of IDD this year

What does MNT mean?

ELIMINATEMaternal & NeonatalTetanus


MNT is caused when tetanus spores, which can be found in soil across the globe, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth.

These infected newborns suffer excruciating convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

What is MNT?


Who suffers from MNT?

Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus

strikes the poorest of the poor, the

geographically hard to reach, and those

without health care. In 28 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and North

America, it still strikes babies and mothers who have little or no access to health care — either

because they are poor, live in remote areas or are caught in humanitarian emergencies.


The Effects of MNT

1 baby dies every 9 minutes from tetanus.

160 babies die each day from tetanus.

Kills nearly 60,000 newborn children and a significant number of mothers every year.


The EFFECTS of Project Eliminate

3 doses of tetanus vaccine = immunity from tetanus.

Woman + vaccine = protected baby.

(US) $1.80 protects 1 mother and her future children.

The Eliminate Project saves and protects millions of moms and her babies.

Elimination = <1 MNT per 1,000 births.


• These women matter.

• They deserve to give birth to healthy babies.

The Worldwide Message

• Every child deserves a chance to reach their full potential.


How can YOU alone make an

impact?


There is a solution

$1.80 will provide 3 vaccinations to

prevent future children from

contracting MNT.

HOW?

• Vaccinate over 129 million mothers• Eliminate MNT from the

remaining 28 countries• Raise 110 million dollars by
