Save the Children @ the University of Western Ontario: Campaigns

The Everyone Campaign

EVERY ONE is our global campaign to save millions of children’s lives. 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 and most marginalized communities are most likely to die.

Western governments and donors need to double spending on basic healthcare and to combat malnutrition in developing countries. But those countries also need to do their part by creating national plans for tackling child mortality. Resources should be focused on improving the health and nutrition of mothers and helping every child to survive.
