our Emphasis
THE ELIMINATE PROJECT
Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate Maternal and Neonatal tetanus. Neonatal tetanus kills one baby every 11 minutes—nearly 49,000 newborn children every year. A significant number of women also die due to maternal tetanus. The effects of the disease are excruciating—tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. Our Division Goal: $4,500 |
PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM
Pediatric Trauma remains the leading cause of death and injury among children ages 14 and under in the United States. The mission of the Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) is to develop local projects which will reduce the number of children in our three-state District who are killed or injured by trauma, ensuring all children live happy, healthy and safe lives. Unintentional injury is the #1 killer of children in the US and 90% can be prevented. Our Division Goal: $4,000 |
These are the two main emphasis that our Division mainly focuses on. Together, we can accomplish our goals and make a huge impact in our communities. Be sure to FUNDRAISE and bring more awareness about these projects!
