The other day, I attended a campaign launch function organised by Save the Children Fund (SCF). The campaign was called "Everyone".
The campaign is about the children of our country and the dire straits they are in. I learnt that 4 lakh children born in India do not make it past 24 hrs, 1 million children do not make it past their 1st birthday and 2 million children do not make it past their 5th birthday. This is indeed shocking. The tragedy is that most of these infant deaths are due to mal nutrition, diarrhoea, poor drinking water and highly inadequate public health services.
What can we do about this problem, beyond just creating awareness?
