One year-old Koursia Mahamadou is a beneficiary of the Save the Children feeding program in Yekoua in the Zinder region of Niger. Her parents say she was severely malnourished, but has gained a great deal of weight since commencing weekly visits to the feeding centre at the age of eight months. After a poor harvest, her family are living day-to-day, subsisting on a low nutritional-value millet-based diet. Koursia's father used to migrate to Nigeria to work and return with money to feed the family, but he is presently at home, fearful of returning to Nigeria because of the unrest caused by Boko Haram. Koursia is drinking a simple porridge of millet flour and milk, which is a typical lunch for she and her mother.

Helping 1 million children lead healthier lives

Nearly 7 million children under five die each year from diseases that are preventable. Most of these deaths are in the developing world. Three areas need urgent attention to help change the future for these children: a supply of vaccines and medicines, more healthcare workers, and availability of nutritious food. Working together with Save the Children, we believe this could be the generation that eliminates child deaths from preventable disease.
