Much like The Hunger Site, The Child Health Site is an easy way to improve children's health care with a simple click.
Yesterday's clicks alone helped give over 1,000 children Vitamin A shots to prevent blindness, and rehydrate over 1,000 children as well!
Vitamin A is a necessary component in the development of a child's immune system. It increases a child's resistance to common, potentially deadly childhood diseases and symptoms. Children who are deficient, according to the WHO on vitamin A supplementation, "suffer a dramatically increased risk of death, blindness, and illness, especially from measles and [diarrhea]." When you click, you are protecting a child from the effects of disease.
Isn't it crazy that something so small, like Vitamin A supplementation & hydration can have such a positive effect on a person's life?
Get out there and click! ;)
