Kiwanis International was founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1915. There are over 350,000 Kiwanians and more than 600,000 K-Family members in 84 countries around the world.  KI's current world service project in conjunction with UNICEF aims to Eliminate Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) from the face of the earth.  This project follows KI's previous successful project, also with UNICEF, of eliminating Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) from the face of the earth.  See:  http://www.TheEliminateProject.org or  http://sites.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis/en/discover/Our-work/eliminating-maternal-neonatal-tetanus.aspx
