For 10 years the Pampers and UNICEF partnership has had only one wish: to eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus everywhere!

Maternal and newborn tetanus may not be a disease that you’re familiar with, but it affects families in some of the poorest areas of the world and occurs when newborns are infected as a direct result of unhygienic birthing practices. Once newborn tetanus has been contracted there is no real cure and it still claims the lives of 49,000 newborns every year, which is equivalent to one baby’s life every 11 minutes.

Since the Pampers-UNICEF “1 pack = 1 vaccine” campaign began in 2006, thanks to the support of parents just like yourself, we’ve helped to eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus in 17 countries. This means that an estimated 500,000 newborn babies have been saved and a vaccine has reached a mother and her baby every second. However, there are still 21 countries where the disease remains a threat.

In a bid to help them achieve their one wish: to eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus everywhere, both Pampers-UNICEF have asked me to share my wish for my children.

They’ve created a film, which be watched here or below, that we’d love for you to watch...


For every view that this blog post receives, they will donate the cost of three vaccinations; 1 blog post view = 3 vaccines. So please do share this post as much as you can!!

Here is my simple wish

If i had one wish, i would wish for my sons to just be happy. I wouldn't wish for riches or good health, i just want them to grow up living, loving and laughing until the end. Life is precious and short, for the little time we have on this planet there is no better way to live than living each and every day happy!



So if you can't buy a pack of Pampers please do watch the video, share this post and engage with the campaign on social media:
