5000 children will die this month alone and every month this year, that's 167 daily. These are staggering numbers when we realize that about 70% of the Haitian people are children. Here are more statistics: Only 54% of children attend some school, 25% of the children under 5 are suffering from malnutrition and 10% or more won't make it to 4 years old.
Over a million children are HIV infected and or dying of AIDS as you are reading this. TB steals the lives of many more. This all sounds like a nightmare, and it is. This outrageously poor country is overpopulated, and the political instability has drowned it into chaos. And the children are unfortunately the sad victims.
So please help us make a significant difference in the lives of the children of Haiti.
Thank you for caring and allowing us to share these facts with you.
