| What We Do |
Every year, million of children under the age of five die totally
preventable deaths. Some are directly caused by illness such as pneumonia,
diarrhoea
and malaria.
Others are caused by indirect causes including conflict and
HIV/AIDS. Malnutrition,
poor hygiene and lack of access to safe
water and adequate sanitation contribute to more than half of
these deaths. Two thirds of both neonatal and young child deaths.
Over 6 million deaths every year are preventable. Half a million women
die in pregnancy each year, most during delivery or in the first few
days thereafter.
Globally, over 2 million children are living with HIV. In recent years,
over 300,000 children died of AIDS and over 500,000 children got newly
infected.
Donate
now and make a difference in the lives of the children.
