WHEN disaster strikes... WE need emergency fundraisers with special powers Will YOU be a superhero?
We stopped children dying from basic illnesses in rich countries a century ago. With your help, we can end it for good in poor countries too.
24,000 children under the age of five will die today — their lives cut short before they’d really begun. Most of their deaths could have been prevented. But the reality is that not every child has an equal chance of survival. Children from the poorest communities are most likely to die. A small number of diseases and conditions are the biggest killers of young children today. Pneumonia, measles, diarrhoea, malaria, HIV and AIDS and complications during pregnancy and after birth cause more than 90% of deaths in children under five. Children who are malnourished are at far greater risk of dying from these causes because they're too weak to fight disease
Proven, low-tech and inexpensive solutions exist to stop children dying. But they’re simply not being deployed on the scale needed to tackle the problem. What we need is the will — from politicians, the public, aid agencies, companies, EVERY ONE — to make it happen on a global scale.
