24,000 children under the age of five will die today. Most of their deaths could have been prevented. But the reality is that not every child has an equal chance of survival. In Sierra Leone as many as 1 in 4 children dies before they reach their fifth birthday. In India, it’s 1 in 14. Pneumonia, measles, diarrhoea, malaria, HIV and AIDS and complications during pregnancy and during delivery cause more than 90% of deaths in children under five.
In these videos from Save the Children’s Everyone Campaign, mothers Mera, Ramatu and Marie Turay remember their children.
