Save the Children’s campaign against preventable child deaths attempts to make the ‘invisible’ reality, ‘visible’. We know change is possible. It needs will and commitment from each one of us to create a nation free of diseases, and a world of equal opportunities for children.
As Raghu Rai puts it, “I have no illusions about changing the world through these pictures, but by sharing them with sensitivity and responsibility, I hope they will touch people to some extent, and create an environment where people are more aware of, and sensitive to, the glaring disparities and contradictions that mark everyday life in India, especially the children who are future of the nation.”
Save the Children campaign – No Child born to die
Save the Children is running a global five year campaign across 50 countries aimed at reducing child deaths in India and around the world. The campaign is linked to UN Millennium Goal 4 that calls for cutting child mortality by 2/3 by 2015. India along with 188 nations signed up to 8 Millennium Development Goals in the year 2000. India has the highest number of children dying anywhere in the world. We lose 16.5 lakh children every year due to easily preventable illnesses such as diarrhoea and pneumonia. Malnutrition is the single biggest killer of children under the age of five. One out of three children in India suffers from malnutrition.
