Dear Evidence Action Supporter,

As a result of COVID-19, the World Bank estimates that between 88 to 115 million people will fall into extreme poverty. This means that tens of millions of children will miss school, suffer from hunger, and be more likely to die from preventable diseases.

This Universal Children’s Day, you can do something to help—by supporting cost-effective and evidence-based solutions that improve the lives of children. 

From our Deworm the World Initiative that helps reduce worm infections, ensuring more children regularly attend school, to our Dispensers for Safe Water program that has averted an estimated 380,000 cases of childhood diarrhea in 2019—one of the main causes of child mortality—our flagship programs provide better opportunities for millions of children in the world’s poorest places.

Your support can solve some of the most pressing challenges that prevent children from reaching their full potential and achieving their dreams. Together, we can help them live healthier and more prosperous lives.

Onward Together,

Brett Sedgewick
Senior Director, Programs​​​​​
