Babies are pretty amazing aren’t they? Bringing their own special form of happiness to everyone around them, they always know how to put a smile on your face and or make you laugh. Did you know that babies can also help save lives just by wearing Pampers? This is because Pampers donates one vaccine against maternal and newborn tetanus for every pack of Pampers nappies and wipes sold through the “1 Pack = 1 Vaccine” Pampers-UNICEF campaign. The campaign has been going for 11 years, and during that time, babies around the world have helped Pampers and UNICEF eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus in 19 countries – with only 19 more to go they are already halfway towards their goal of global elimination which is pretty amazing.

Since the campaign began 500,000** newborn babies have been saved and a vaccine has reached a mother and her baby every second which is just incredible.

How can you help?

There are many ways we can support this important campaign as well as using Pampers. You can share a photo of your baby using the hashtags #1photo1vaccine or #PampersUNICEF on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and in doing so Pampers® will donate the equivalent cost of one vaccine.

This year, celebrity mum and former Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh is supporting the Pampers-UNICEF campaign. Kimberley says:

“I feel hugely honoured to be supporting the Pampers-UNICEF campaign in its 11th year. As a mum to Bobby, and expecting my second child later this year, I feel great empathy with other mothers around the world who, just as I do, want nothing more than to deliver a happy, healthy baby. The reason I’m so passionate about this campaign is that mums and dads here in the UK can make a very real difference by doing nothing more than buying the Pampers that they need for their little ones. It’s phenomenal and makes me feel very proud of what we can achieve together.”

How else can you help make a difference?

As well as sharing a photo of your baby –  there are other ways that we can all help to work together to eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus:

• 1 pack = 1 life-saving vaccine: For each purchase of a Pampers® pack with the UNICEF logo
• Donate to UNICEF: By becoming a monthly donor to UNICEF today you can join thousands of other parents who donate every month to improve the lives of these vulnerable children

Join us and together, Pampers® and UNICEF can help protect the world’s babies against newborn tetanus.
