More than 10 million of the world's children die each year before reaching the age of five. Sadly two of every three of these children die from easily preventable, treatable diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, measles, and tetanus, and from the conditions like malutrition. In addition, HIV/AIDS continues to be a leading contributor to the deaths of young children in Africa. The CORE Group, a coalition of nongovernmental organizations, is a global leader in responding to health issues that place children at risk. Since 1997, the CORE Group and its members have worked across the developing world to aid mother, father and community leaders in improving the health of their children.
