Campaigning and Learning Resources
 
 

 

Everything you need to campaign for change for the world's poorest

 

Desmond Tutu famously said "If you are neutral in situations on injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." So, let's band together and campaign against injustice and poverty, creating a brighter future for millions of children.

Everyone can be a campaigner. It's about having the will to speak out when something isn't fair and shouldn't be happening. Together we can raise awareness and make those who have the power to act, do something.

Help us make a difference.

Nutrition facts  

104 million children are underweight   


The World Health Organisation projected an increase in stunted children in Africa from 45 million in 1990 to 60 million in 2010


Global progress on under nutrition is at risk of being reversed in the coming years due to the global economic downturn, rising food prices, climate change and severe under resourcing

 

The 1,000 day period from pregnancy to 24 months of age is a crucial opportunity to address under nutrition and its possible lifelong adverse affects


Maternal under nutrition increases maternal mortality risks and often leads to low birth weight, which contributes to 60% of neonatal deaths

 

Child health facts 

 

8.1 million children die every year from preventable illnesses


99% of these deaths occur in developing countries


6 million children could be saved each year using simple and effective interventions such as vaccines, clean water and mosquito nets


Biggest killers are pneumonia, diarrhoea as well as neonatal complications in the first 28 days
