Eight Cents Can Save a Child's Life!

You have a unique opportunity to save a child's life. An anonymous U.S. Fund for UNICEF donor has agreed to donate a packet of oral rehydration salts (ORS) for each person who registers to receive UNICEF's email newsletter.

What are oral rehydration salts? They are a simple combination of salt, sugar and clean water that can save 1 million children annually from diarrheal diseases. A British medical journal called them "potentially the most important medical advance of this century." And how much does this incredible treatment cost? Only eight cents per packet.

Access to clean water is a challenge in many countries. An estimated one billion people do not have access to clean water, and this causes the deaths of 2 million children under the age of five each year.

Please sign this pledge in support of the efforts of UNICEF in distributing these ORS packets to people in desperate need. Don't forget to sign up for UNICEF's newsletter, to give a child a chance at a healthy life.
