The Pediatric Trauma Program(or PTP) was established by the Kiwanis Cali-Nev-Ha Foundation in 1994 after recognizing the serious need for education and training in pediatric trauma and injury prevention. The purpose of this program is to develop local service projects to educate people and decrease the number of children who are severely injured or killed due to unintentional injuries. The Kiwanis Foundation is furthering the program’s mission by establishing partnerships with hospitals in Oakland, San Diego, Loma Linda, Madera, Honolulu, and Reno. PTP funds the training of pediatric doctors, nurses, and first responders, the purchase of specialized pediatric medical equipment, and the development of community outreach. PTP is heavily supported through the generous donations from clubs and members of the Kiwanis Family. The CNH Foundation is currently seeking to strengthen the program and hoping to expand to other areas, partner with more hospitals, and reduce the devastating harm of severe unintentional injuries.

PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM

With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 60 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff, and more. It will take $110 million and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.
