Kiwanis of East Orange County focuses mostly on our local community, but we also join efforts with other Kiwanis Clubs around the world to tackle a large health issue. The first Worldwide Service Project we tackled was Iodine Deficiency. Today, about 70 percent of the people in the developing world have access to iodized salt, and UNICEF has hailed this project as one of the greatest public health triumphs of the 20th century. Through the dedication and hard work of the Kiwanis family, not only in raising money but also in raising awareness of the problem and motivating governments and industry to act, millions of children have been protected against the invisible but devastating effects of iodine deficiency.
Eliminating the death of mothers and babies caused by tetanus
Once the world had a good handle on Iodine Deficiency, Kiwanis decided to focus on another project. Our second Worldwide Service Project is named The Eliminate Project. Since the project started in 2010, Kiwanis committed to raising over $110 million dollars and partner with Unicef to save the lives of women and babies that are dying around the world because of contracting Tetanus during childbirth. Our club donated $23,250, which protected the lives of 12,916 mothers and their babies around the world. Learn more about The Eliminate Project here.
The school year is coming to a close, so we shift our time and energy from supporting our Terrific Kids, BUG Program, K-Kids, Builders Clubs, Key Club, and CKI to other fun projects over the summer! Our first summer project begins with collecting diapers (we can take opened packages) for UCP BETA and the Dream Center. The Diaper Drive will end at our Father's Day Weekend BBQ and Poker event. Come with your dad to enjoy a BBQ dinner and unlimited drinks (21+ only). If you would like to try your hand at Poker, you can play or you can just enjoy a nice night out with dad, eating and drinking to your heart's content. We hope to have your support with these fun projects and events! ... See MoreSee Less
