Saving Newborn Lives

By pbingham

Each year, 4 million babies die before they are a month old.  To help stem this global heartbreak, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has donated 60 million dollars to Save the Children's "Saving Newborn Lives" initiative.  This money will enable the program's expansion into 18 African and Asian countries, bringing midwifery, treatment for infections, vaccines, and education about infant care and nutrition to mothers and their babies.  Visit the Save the Children Website http://www.savethechildren.org/news/releases/release_120205.asp to read about the work that's being done to help women and children around the world.
