Pampers and UNICEF: A powerful partnership and a decade of achievement

Despite progress made over the last ten years, in 2015 we remain very aware of the MNT statistics - it claims the life of a newborn child every 11 minutes - so, through supporting UNICEF, we're continuing to help more and more moms and babies get protected against the disease.

300 Million Vaccines

Things are certainly going to plan: 300 million vaccines have been funded since 2006 - that's close to the entire population of the USA - helping to protect over 100 million moms and their babies worldwide.

Pampers funding is also helping to transport them to where they are needed most and administer them . Midwives have also been mobilized to deliver education on vaccinations to even the most remote villages; teaching moms about the importance of hygienic birth practices is a crucial step in the process.

A Genuine Historic Innovation

Professor Linda Scott, an expert on International Development at Oxford University, recently called the Pampers-UNICEF partnership "a genuine historic innovation and a humanitarian breakthrough, demonstrating a new approach to fighting global problems and the roles companies can play."

Granted, there's a long way to go in the quest, but this is certainly progress with our ultimate goal alongside our partner UNICEF to help eliminate MNT everywhere.
