This year now begins, Manos Unidas is launching a new campaign, the number LII, focusing on the fourth Millennium Development Goal: reducing child mortality, ie, fight with all means at our disposal to prevent ill and dying children under five years.

It is estimated that every minute, nine children die for reasons closely related to malnutrition, hunger and poverty. At the edge of this new campaign we ask: what has happened in the ten years that have elapsed since the 189 states pledged their struggle for achieving the eight objectives?

The latest UN report on the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (2010), indicates that in some respects the situation of children has improved. Thus, for example, have increased rates of vaccination against diseases like measles, reaped tens of thousands of lives by taking preventive measures will and therapeutic HIV / AIDS, provision of nutrients to avoid short term, child malnutrition is still effective, there are campaigns to promote breastfeeding from the first day of life and its extension for at least six months ...

And so, a brief so meager compared to the task that the world has before it, given the seriousness of the problem: we are dying more than 1,000 children under five years, every hour, and most these deaths occur during the first month of life, the percentage of babies who fail to survive their first month of life is high, also due to causes related with pregnancy and childbirth, and the inability of mothers to overcome.

The future of every child begins nine months before leaving the womb, and meet his other world, the family nest, the best for your pregnancy and survival. The existence of a harmonious family context and able to provide its members for their very survival is crucial to the lives of children and of society.

We just closed a year involved in crisis are many and closely related, but, in fact, occupies our government is the economic crisis. The amounts of money invested in so-called bailouts are an eloquence that shakes compared to what has been spent on eradicating hunger and poverty.

this situation and witnesses, as we are, needs to continue appealing to assert that tomorrow's children today means taking seriously the vulnerability of his life. Two decades ago, WHO and UNICEF have developed the IMCI, Integrated Management of Childhood Illness. The causes of illnesses and deaths of children under five years are many and interrelated. Solutions must be too.

For over fifty years that he said Manos Unidas war against hunger and poverty, as the roots of the many reasons why children die, and, consequently, has been creating solutions with integrated development projects. We need more and more hands to join in this task.
