18 What Save the Children will do next

19 NEARLY 10 MILLION children won’t live to see their 5th birthday this year YOU help us stop this. We know the solutions, like vaccinations, mosquito nets and enough food. We just need the world to see how easy it is.

20 WE KNOW there’s no time to waste when disaster strikes YOUR DONATIONS help us stay ready to act quickly After the tsunami, we got emergency help to hundreds of thousands of children. We’re still there, helping communities rebuild

21 HAVING A BABY in Liberia is scary. And it costs up to 1500 Liberian Dollars to deliver. Trouble is, that’s a month’s salary. YOU make governments realise that healthcare fees don’t work

22 AFTER SCHOOL Children had nowhere to go WE introduced the idea of playgroups HELP US keep fighting for the rights of children, at home and around the world. HOW WE SPEND IT From every one pound you give us, we spend 82p helping to save children. With the remaining 18p we go out and raise another pound
