John, did you know that children born today will face, on average, seven times as many heat waves as their grandparents?
As those of us in the U.S. are feeling the impacts of extreme heat this past month, millions of children around the world are suffering from the same or worse effects.
Extreme heat can pose a number of threats to children, including an increased chance of disease, delays to their education and greater chance of hunger – among many others.
That’s why we’re working around the clock to help children and their communities overcome the debilitating effects that heat waves and natural disasters have on their well-being, education and mental health.
