Beginning in 2010, Kiwanis International joined forces with UNICEF and created the ELIMINATE project, a world-wide health initiative dedicated to eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus. In 2010 MNT took the lives of over 100,000 babies each year. Now, only a few short years later the death toll has decreased to 60,000 annually. The great news is maternal and neonatal tetanus is preventable! Three rounds of a vaccine, each costing $0.60, is all a woman needs to protect herself and all of her future children from suffering from MNT.

Remember, "A dollar eighty can save a baby."
