Today marks a momentous occasion for The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus, as leaders from Kiwanis International, UNICEF and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU). 

“A year ago, our international board of trustees chose to focus our next global campaign for children on eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus,” said Kiwanis International President Sylvester Neal. “I’m proud to be here today to represent our 600,000 members who will work tirelessly to raise funds to eliminate this deadly, yet preventable disease.”

The MOU affirms the three parties’ partnership on The Eliminate Project, which will raise US$110 million to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the face of the Earth.
