The Eliminate Project
The Eliminate Project
The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus is a global campaign
that will save or protect millions of mothers and babies. Tetanus can infect newborns, spreading
quickly, causing terrible pain and killing within days. It’s a terrible disease, preventing even the
comfort of a mother’s touch—but it’s highly preventable.
MNT is easily prevented by giving women of childbearing age a series of three vaccine doses,
which costs roughly US$1.80. This cost includes vaccinations, syringes, safe storage, transportation
and more.
Kiwanis International is raising US$110 million by 2015, which will make Kiwanis the world’s
largest single donor to MNT elimination efforts.
o Using the US$1.80 average, this US$110 million will ultimately protect at least 61 million women
and their future babies.
o The Eliminate Project will do more than protect women and babies from tetanus. It will also
create a path for other services, such as health education, clean water, nutrition and other vaccines.
About maternal and neonatal tetanus
• One newborn dies every nine minutes from tetanus. That is about 160 newborns each day.
• MNT results when tetanus spores, which are present in soil everywhere, enter the bloodstream. It
is mainly caused by a lack of access to sanitary birthing conditions, unclean instruments used to
cut the umbilical cord and unclean post-partum cord care.
• Once the disease is contracted, the fatality rate can be as high as 100 percent in underserved
areas.
• Most mothers and newborns who die of tetanus live in areas of Africa, South Asia and
Southeast Asia, where many women are poor, have little access to health care, have limited
information about safe delivery procedures and continue harmful cord care practices.
• If a woman is properly vaccinated against tetanus, she will have immunity through most of her
childbearing years.
• Babies born to mothers who have been vaccinated are protected through the first two months of
life.
Fundraising for The Eliminate Project will support UNICEF and its partners, which have already
eliminated MNT in more than 20 countries. Kiwanis' global volunteer network and strength in
reaching communities and leaders, along with UNICEF’s field staff, technical expertise and
unbeatable supply chain, will help eliminate this cruel, centuries-old disease and pave the way for
other interventions.
Kiwanis International
Kiwanis International is a global organization of nearly 600,000 members dedicated to serving the
children of the world. Kiwanis and its family of clubs—including Circle K International for
university students, Key Club for students age 14–18, Builders Club for students age 11–14,
Kiwanis Kids for students age 6–12 and Aktion Club for adults with disabilities—annually raise
more than US$100 million and dedicate more than 18 million volunteer hours to strengthen
communities and serve children.

On June 8th A PCM
(Presidential council meeting)
was held at Wild River in
Medford. The Presidents and
Vice presidents of most of our
clubs, both faculty and Kiwanis
advisors, and I had a very nice
lunch and discussed tips for
the upcoming year.
We talked about the
problems we faced and creative
ways that we have found to
overcome them! All the
presidents were also given a
CD that contains all the
important information (such as
officer duties, a calendar, and
fundraising ideas) It was fun
and informational and we
enjoyed a very tasty lunch!
Hopefully your
officers will bring back some
of what they learned!
