World Malaria Day
Shocking numbers of children are dying of entirely preventable diseases. One of them, malaria, is a leading cause of death for children under 5.
In the United States, it’s virtually unheard of that diseases such as malaria kill children. But in low-income countries, preventable diseases like malaria are their biggest killers. The majority of children affected are poor, from marginalized ethnic groups or living in remote places with limited access to health services that could save their lives.
