"For all too many... life is a continuous
struggle against hunger, malnutrition, polluted drinking water, infectious disease, ignorance, oppression and violent conflict"
-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan
On Tuesday September 11, 2001, at least 35,615 of our brother and sisters died from the worst
possible death, starvation. Somewhere around 85% of these starvation deaths occur in children 5 years of age or younger. Why
are we letting at least 30,273 of the most beautiful children die the worst possible death everyday? Every 2.43 seconds another
one of our fellow brothers and sisters dies of starvation. Starvation doesn't just happen on Tuesday September 11, 2001, it
happens everyday, 365 days per year, 24 hours per day, it never stops.
Help eliminate Aids, Poverty, and Starvation in the
world!
At Live 8, millions came together with one message: make poverty history.
5 days later, G8 leaders made historic promises that could save up to 4 million lives every year. On July 15th, the G8 meets
again: Sign a petition today asking America’s leaders to keep our promises to the world’s poorest people.
KEEP A CHILD ALIVE
is an urgent response to the AIDS pandemic ravaging Africa. With 25 million already dead, the disease continues, wiping out
whole societies, threatening economic infrastructure and creating tragic devastation in the family structure. There are currently
12 million AIDS Orphans in Africa alone. How much longer will we sit by while millions of people die from a treatable disease?
