Imagine the combined population of Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide dying every year. Shocking isn't it? But that is exactly what's happening. The reality is 8.8 million children around the world die each year before their fifth birthday. What's worse is the majority of children are dying from conditions that are treatable and preventable like pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria and measles. Children are also dying from a lack of food -- malnutrition is a contributing factor in many deaths. Often families live too far away from health facilities, which are too few in number. In some cases, preventable measures -- such as vaccines and mosquito nets are simply not available. And many parents simply don't have the means to properly care for their sick child. Our campaign Every One aims to change this. Because Every One of us can make a difference.
