Are you more than 5 years old?

Key facts

• 6.6 million children under the age of five died in 2012.
• More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions.
• Leading causes of death in under-five children are pneumonia, preterm birth complications, birth asphyxia, diarrhoea and malaria. About 45% of all child deaths are linked to malnutrition.
• Children in sub-Saharan Africa are about over 16 times more likely to die before the age of five than children in developed regions.

Preterm birth, intrapartum-related complications (birth asphyxia or lack of breathing at birth), and infections cause most neonatal deaths. From the end of the neonatal period and through the first five years of life, the main causes of death are pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria. Malnutrition is the underlying contributing factor in about 45% of all child deaths, making children more vulnerable to severe diseases.

If you are more than 5 years old now, please, halt for a moment, if you got the time, say a lil' prayer to thank your parent for doing a great job into taking good care of you, to raise you what you are today! I believe there is a prayer from every religion for our awesome parents.
