Time to Terminate Tetanus

Posted on | September 30, 2010 | 1 Comment

Pampers and UNICEF have just launched this year’s “1 Pack =  1 Life-Saving Vaccine”  campaign. Its ultimate goal is the worldwide elimination of maternal and newborn tetanus.

During this October, November and December, for every pack of Pampers nappies with the “1 Pack = 1 Life-Saving Vaccine” logo, Pampers will fund UNICEF with 1 tetanus vaccine.This campaign has been running since 2006 and the really good news is that the end goal is achieveable, it is in sight.

Since 2006, the “1 pack = 1 life-saving vaccine” campaign has helped to protect 100 million women and their babies, with the help of parents across the globe. So far the campaign has reached 21 countries across two continents, with 14 of these countries now reaching completion of their maternal and newborn tetanus programmes.

As I’ve said previously, this is a no brainer for me. If you have nappy wearing kids, buy pampers for these 3 months. Stock up for future months!

If you have no need to buy nappies, you can still help this campaign. This year, the Pampers Big Kiss campaign is also running.  Grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, friends and more can click on the badge below. For each click, from a unique computer or phone, Pampers will donate a vaccine to UNICEF. No cost, no strings, easy peasy.

So g’wan.  Buy some Pampers nappies. Email, tweet, facebook  https://sn.im/pampers2 to friends and family and get them to click on it. Wouldn’t it be amazing in these depressing times to think that we could contribute to the annihilation of such a devastating disease for mothers and newborns?

Thanks a mil. This campaign was such a success last year, it would be brilliant to top it this year.

If you get a chance, check out Rosie’s blog. She documents her trip to Cameroon with UNICEF and relates much more eloquently than I could, the reality of living with the threat of tetanus and the work that UNICEF is doing.

Many thanks also to my fellow pampers team 2 bloggers. Check them out!

    It’s a great cause isn’t it? Thanks so much for the mention in your post. Good luck to team 2 – I should probably say the same to team 1!
