Save a life for every
pack of Pampers you buy
If you use Pampers, you may have saved a lot of lives already without even knowing it. Yesterday, Salma Hayek announced the launch of the second annual Pampers/UNICEF program to help save moms and newborns around the world—and Cafe Kristen was there (lucky her!).
You can read all about Cafe Kristen's day, her new BFF Salma, and the Pampers/UNICEF initiative on the Healthy Living Buzz.
Here's how the program works: For each pack of Pampers that you buy
from now through May 1, 2009, the company will donate the cost of one tetanus
vaccine to UNICEF. The vaccine is used to prevent Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus, a preventable disease that claims the lives of approximately 128,000
infants (that's approximately one newborn death every four minutes) and up to 30,000 mothers each
year in developing countries.
Here's how you can help: Look for Pampers products that are specially marked One Pack = One Vaccine (participating lines include: Swaddlers and Swaddlers Sensitive diapers, Baby Dry and Cruisers diapers, Easy Ups training pants, and all wipes).
Do you use Pampers? If you don't would you consider switching to help out?

I use Pampers and if didn't I would definitely switch for that cause. I'm glad Pampers does things like that, it actually makes me feel better about using disposables.
I do not use pampers & cannot switch due to allergies to that brand. But that's a wonderful cause & wish I could help!
How does an infant/newborn get tetanus?

A lot of times if an infant contracts tetnus it's because of using dirty instruments to cut the cord. Also, lack of clean water and living conditions doesn't help with disease in general.
Good for Pampers! I think other brands might benefit by doing something similar. Or formula companies, like Enfamil, for every can bought (even through WIC) donate a can to an orphanage or foster home where breastmilk is unavailable. Personally, I am more inclined to buy a certain brand when I know part of the proceeds go to a charity.
We love pampers, our children have been wearing them since they were born. not to be hating on huggies but Don't like them very much.
I switched from luvs to cruisers for this.:) they are a slight more expensive but worth it for the cause..and if I should add the diapers are great too.
Pampers are awesome! I LOVE them b/c they are just great diapers, but I also feel good about buying them b/c they participate in things like this. They also use Sesame Street, another good organization, rather than Disney or another cartoon that is all about profit.
