About Immunize Every Child
Each year, 2.5 million children succumb to diseases that could have been averted through vaccination. "In the world's poorest countries, one in four children has no access to the most basic health services. Children in these countries are ten times more likely to die from preventable diseases than children in wealthier nations...We can prevent these deaths - and because we can, we must. Our vision is to protect every child still at risk...no matter where he or she may live." - GAVI Alliance.org
In its first seven years of existance, the GAVI Alliance has helped to vaccinate more than 160 million children worldwide - a feat that has prevented over 2.9 million deaths. GAVI has been able to achieve such remarkable success through its unique and analytic approach. The GAVI Alliance joins individual investors with governments, financial institutions, non-profits, and public health institutions in a pursuit to find highly efficient ways to provide life-saving vaccines to the maximum number of children possible. Their efforts have been so successful to date that the GAVI Alliance is on track to "reach virtually every unprotected child in the world over the next 20 years."
