10 million children under the age of five die every year, mostly from preventable illnesses
-
700,000 children die from measles every year, due to a lack of immunisation. Living in unhygienic conditions with little food and no clean water, millions of people are prone to malnutrition and ill health |
Alessane has been dangerously underweight since birth as his grandmother is forced to breastfeed him because his mother is too weak to produce milk.
Thousands of babies die each day during child birth or soon afterwards; but Alessane isn’t a statistic, none of them are, he is real child and we really can’t ignore this situation.

Health Solutions
In an area where there are a large number of fatalities during childbirth, for £30 we can supply safe birth kits to protect both mother and child. Or if possible, for £2,500 we can deploy moto-ambulances to reach remote villages and houses, or even better we can establish and run a mobile health clinic for £10,000 for three months, so that we can provide medical care to communities that usually have no access to any form of healthcare.
