Helping Those in Need
Pampers is committed to improving the lives of babies around the world. Working with parents, together we provide more than $10 million in donations that effect more than 50 million lives each year.
Working together with parents and UNICEF, one area we’ve chosen to focus on is newborn tetanus, a major health problem in developing countries. Newborn tetanus claims the lives of more than 140,000 babies each year, but this disease is preventable. If an expectant mother receives the vaccine before she gives birth, both she and her baby will be protected from this disease.
1 Pack = 1 Vaccine
The Pampers
“1 Pack = 1 Vaccine” program – a partnership with UNICEF – helps get these lifesaving vaccines to the women who need them. Here’s how it works: For each pack of specially marked Pampers diapers and wipes that you buy during the promotion period; Pampers donates the cost of one vaccine to UNICEF. It’s a small step but it can and does lead to big change. Thanks to parents like you, in only two years, the Pampers/UNICEF 1 Pack = 1 Vaccine program has helped provide more than 40 million vaccines for UNICEF which will help protect the lives of mothers and newborns around the globe.
