Salma Hayek (award winning actress and ‘Ugly Betty’ Producer) has teamed with Pampers and UNICEF in a program to provide lifesaving tetanus vaccines in developing countries. With every specially marked pack of Pampers products that you purchase, Pampers will donate the cost of one vaccine to UNICEF. Here is the link to Pampers tetanus program details.

To date, over 25 million vaccines have been funded from the UK and Western Europe, and the total goal is to provide 50 million tetanus vaccines to protect women and their newborn babies. It is hoped the USA and Canada will provide at least 27 million vaccines.

The program lasts from April 1, 2008 to August 31, 2008 and includes brands such as Swaddlers Sensitive, Swaddlers, Cruisers, Easy Ups, Pampers Sensitive Wipes, Swipers and Clean n’Go wipes.

The program was launched in the UK in 2006 and expanded to western Europe in 2007.

Each year about 140,000 infants and 30,000 women in developing countries die from tetanus … a preventable disease, which can be contracted during childbirth.

The Pampers program also has a Pampers Gift Certificate where you can aid an American charity in receiving diapers, and at the same time a donation to UNICEF’s vaccine program will be made by Pampers.

A link to the Pampers-UNICEF program is shown on Pampers main website.

Pampers is a trademark of Procter & Gamble, the world’s top selling diaper brand.
