LONG HEAD: Kiwanis family celebrates measured progress
SHORT HEAD: Fewer babies dying from tetanus
COPY:
The Kiwanis family’s efforts through The Eliminate Project are making a big difference. The
number of babies dying from neonatal tetanus dropped 15 percent between 2010 and 2013,
according to a new report by the Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group. One baby now
dies every 11 minutes—with approximately 9,000 fewer babies dying each year. But 134
newborns still die every day.
Find out Kiwanis’ latest fundraising totals during the next Worldwide Report Day on November
12, 2014, when we’ll showcase our progress at
sites.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis/en/theELIMINATEproject/Progress/WorldwideReportDay.aspx. We’re
on the verge of turning a global effort into a worldwide achievement with the strides we’re
making toward our US$110 million goal. Help keep the momentum going!
