Hello Key Clubbers,

Katie McAnnis

What is the ELIMINATE Project? The Eliminate Project is a joint project with Kiwanis and UNICEF to internationally terminate MNT.

What is MNT?

In 30 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Its effects are excruciating– tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too.

Who suffers from MNT?

MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach, and those without health care.

EDUCATE yourself. ADVOCATE to the world.

INVEST to save and protect.

Hello Eastern Canada, Kentucky-Tennessee, and Pacific Northwest Board Members! With the school year starting, now is a perfect time to focus on recruiting new members for your Key Clubs. In the previous update, I attached a few materials to help with this process. However, once you have members that have joined, it’s time to focus on service projects! Therefore, this update is focused on the Youth Opportunities Fund, Eliminate Project, and other possible service projects.
