Millennium Development Goal 4 - Reduce Child Mortality

During the United Nations Millennium Summit in September 2000, representatives from countries across the globe met to discuss development problems plaguing the human race. As a direct result of their discussions, the Millennium Declaration was drafted and approved by 189 nations and 147 state government leaders. It was from this declaration that the eight Millennium Development Goals emerged, aiming to make immense progress on humanitarianissues facing our world.

• Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger• Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education• Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women• Goal 4: Reduce child mortality• Goal 5: Improve maternal health• Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases• Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability• Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development
The center of this project was Goal 4 – reducing child mortality. By the year 2015, the Millennium Campaign seeks to reduce by two-thirds the under-five child mortality rate.

Currently, about 26,000 children under five die each day, mostly frompreventable causes.

How can they reduce infant mortality if the U.S is pushing GMO's which studies in the UK and elsewhere with potatoes, and tomatoes and soy have shown ill effects on the animals tested which included pre cancerous cell growth, digestive tract problems, damage to the immune system, smaller brains and livers and testicles and Russian study showed the offspring of the animals tested had died in THREE repeat studies having a 55% mortality rate in relation to GMO soybeans.

GMO's are being PUSHED

Just build his church villages and save people to the point you save the planet and the time line of worlds to come. No more fool games that serve not mankind. The U.N.

the rich are becoming richer and the poor are getting worse. All the time we are so much obsessed with what all we have that we forget what all we had started our journey for. hope few of these clips will wake up people from their long slumber.

Children dying every day with mass amounts and are left like that....

More than 70% of people of the world population do not have homes!!!

Means there is a lot of oppression taking place in the world.
