The Eliminate Project The Eliminate Project is one of the four major emphasis projects. Each year, the deadly disease known as maternal and neonatal tetanus takes the lives of 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women. The Eliminate Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goals is to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus., a disease that causes tiny newborns to suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light, sound, and touch. $1.80 can provide three doses of a 60 cent immunization to protect a mother and her future children. Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF can stop this disease and immunize 129 million mothers and their future babies. In order to stop this disease, we hope to donate $100 million U.S. dollars. This money will go to paying for the vaccines, syringes, safe storage facilities, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and much more. Together, we can help save the lives of millions of mothers and their babies.

Kiwanis Pediatric Lyme Disease â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lyme Disease problem was brought to Kiwanis' attention during 2000-01 when New York District Gov. John Gridley vowed to do something to help children afflicted with this terrible disease. The Lyme Disease Project was quickly set up to help pay for medical treatment for children with this disease. Unfortunately most insurance companies do not pay for its treatment, which is very expensive. Our support is funded through donations from Kiwanis Clubs and individuals and channeled into the Pediatric Lyme Disease Fund. As of May 2014, the foundation had paid $269,000 for pediatric treatment. Lyme Disease is caused by bacteria usually transmitted by the deer tick. It is a scary possibility to consider for New York State residents who enjoy spending time outside during the summer months. Lyme Disease may affect the brain in many ways. The most common is a disturbance in thinking. Other symptoms that occur frequently include headache, mood swings, irritability, depression and marked fatigue.â&#x20AC;?
