GOAL 3: Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene

GOAL 4: Saving mothers and children

Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger.
