Why should Americans care about childrens health overseas?
Healthy children and adults create a healthy, economically stable world. Children born today in every corner of the globe deserve the chance to live beyond age five. Americans have a long history of helping people in need, particularly children, both at home and overseas. Addressing easily preventable and treatable diseases will also save the United States and other nations money and manpower in the long run, and produce a global citizenry capable of meeting the challenges of the future.
