Compassion Child Survival Program
Compassion Child Survival Program
Providing mothers and babies with the assistance, food and education to help them get through pregnancy, childbirth and the first critical years of a child's life.
The Facts
60sec
Every minute, a woman in our world dies in pregnancy or childbirth. That’s one million women who die every year.
3 secs
Every three seconds, a child under the age of five dies in the developing world. That’s almost 10 million children dying every year, mostly from easily preventable things like malaria and diarrhea.
> 5yrs
Malnourished mothers often give birth to underweight babies, and these babies are less likely to survive for their fifth birthday.
The Need
These programs provide mothers and their babies with pre and post-natal check-ups, as well as health and nutrition education. The babies are given the immunisations and nutritional supplements they need to survive their first few years of life.
