what we do

In 2006, 5 million children died on the African continent before reaching their fifth birthday, an average of nearly 14,000 a day.

Many of these children die of preventable and curable diseases, including Malaria, Diarrhea and Pneumonia - illnesses that thrive in poor communities where sanitation is severely compromised, and where residents are often undernourished and exposed to pollution. Another major killer is AIDS.
