A silent killer
Malnutrition is the underlying cause of more than 1/3 of all childhood deaths.
In the world, children are still lacking the nutrients and vitamins they need to grow.
A malnourished child is not able to fight off illness and often becomes physically and mentally weak.
Malnutrition keeps children trapped in the cycle of poverty.

Clean Water Saves Lives
Water is life.
However, 900 million people do not have safe, clean drinking water.
And 2.6 billion people live without proper sanitation.
When water is unsafe and sanitation non-existent, water can kill human beings.
More than 4,000 children die each day from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation facilities.
