This week I followed a link from the Save the Children webpage. I was interested in their spotlight area which led me to http://www.everybeatmatters.org/.
Their mission is to mobilize citizen action in the U.S. to help local health workers help save more children worldwide. This organization has traveled the world and recorded actual heartbeats of children in need. These heartbeats were used by the singing group OneRepublic to create an original song that you can download to help save millions of children.
Every 3 seconds a child survives thanks to the basic health care provided by frontline health workers. Frontline health workers help children all over the world survive the leading causes of death, including newborn complications, pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and malnutrition (all preventable). With proper training, supplies and support, frontline health workers — such as community health workers and midwives —could help save most of the 7 million children who still die each year.
Save the Children by the U.S. government and other governments so that frontline health workers can bring lifesaving care to hard-to-reach communities and make the survival of children a reality worldwide.
