Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every nine minutes. What if you had the chance to save a baby’s life from this terrible disease? With The Eliminate Project—Kiwanis eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus—you can. Yes, you! Three doses of a 60-cent vaccine can protect babies and their moms too. Kiwanis and UNICEF have joined forces to bring this vaccine to 40 countries around the world.
The Kiwanis family is getting involved from the get-go. At the Kiwanis International Convention in June, Julianne Hallett, president of the Bowling Green Elementary School K-Kids Club, presented the very first donation to the campaign. She and her club earned more than $1,000 at its second annual talent show and donated it to The Eliminate Project.
Julianne and her faculty advisor, Rich Santer, are already planning new ways to support The Eliminate Project. What’s your club planning to do?
See Julianne making the presentation as featured in the latest edition of K-Kids Zone or Builders Bloc.
