Child health in some countries is very bad, 1 in every 10 children die in Sub-Saharan Africa. One in every sixteen die in Southern Asia before the age of 5. The goal of this whole thing is to get children to live longer than just 5 years old. Since 1990 the death toll has went down about 50% from 12.4 million to 6.6 million, that's a big difference. To get this to happen there has to be medicine and vaccines for these kids who have a sickness or disease. The problem is that these kids have their whole life ahead of them but since there isn't any medicine for the sickness they have they die before the age of 5 which is just terrible. People do help everyday, saving lives from donations is a great thing to do and it makes you feel good. “Canelones Grows with You,” is a organization that was put together in Uruguay to help the children who were living in extreme poverty. They mostly helped with pregnant woman and children who were up to 3 years old. The families that participated in this received food and a healthy eating schedule for those who were pregnant. The rate of doctor checkups increased from 50% to 82%. This program kept growing and growing until it was so big that now it is called Uruguay Grows with You. Just from this program it has saved tons of little children and kept them healthy.
I think that it's an awful thing that little kids are dying before the age of five. They are starving everyday and they need support from people to keep alive. It's great that programs are coming out for things just to help children like this. The death toll per year keeps going down which is probably the best thing that can happen out of all of this.
