Today the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and several partners including UNICEF launched “Every Child Deserves a 5th Birthday”. The premise of this awareness-raising campaign is simple: every child should have a chance to reach five. Over 7 million children—most of them in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia—didn’t reach their 5th birthday last year. That number is equivalent to the entire population of New York City.
