We arrived at the Moyamba district hospital late morning, tired from the drive but excited to begin our journey. At the ...

Through The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis members have the opportunity during the holidays to protect the connection between mothers and babies in the poorest, most remote regions of the world.

Consider following Gus Hawkins' example. The Highland, Indiana, Kiwanian asked friends and families to contribute to the fight against maternal and neonatal tetanus in lieu of birthday gifts. An ...

We first heard about the Eliminate Project at the international convention in Las Vegas. It was overwhelming and impressive at the same time. To think there was such a devastating disease in the world and we could do something to help eliminate it!

Months later at the mid-year conference upstate, we heard about this project again. Now, we decided we had to do something more aggressive than just writing a check – we had to host a fundraiser. We immediately ...
