Every week, the team at this UNICEF-supported outpatient nutrition center in Adré, Chad, treats hundreds of children for malnutrition. This is one mother's story of partnering with health workers to keep her baby safe.

President & CEO of UNICEF USA, Relentlessly Pursuing a More Equitable World For Every Child | Child Rights Activist | Thought Leader
Yesterday, I joined fellow leaders across the global health, development and humanitarian sectors in recognizing an incredible milestone: More children are surviving today than ever before. Since 2000, the global mortality rate for children under five has declined by 51%. Incredible. This milestone was made possible by the tireless efforts of USAID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a deep network of governments, NGOs, community-based organizations, faith-based partners and others, including our teams at UNICEF and UNICEF USA. We appreciate Congress' longstanding bipartisan support of UNICEF and its priorities. Most importantly, I must also thank those individuals on the ground—midwives and skilled health personnel, local vaccinators, advocates and others—who dedicate their days to supporting children and communities in the world’s hardest-to-reach places. This milestone is a stark reminder that, together, we have the power to change the world. We already have. And there's more to be done—both in response to crises and in ensuring that systems are responsive and resilient, and that communities have access to the tools they need to thrive. #FiveAndThrive #MNCH American Academy of Pediatrics, DefeatDD, Results for Development, Save the Children International, Global Health Council, World Vision
