Less child deaths, less overpopulation

It is said that 500,000 kids die every year from a diarrhoeal disease; however this has been unnoticed by the public. But if something could be done about this and more children’s lives could be saved than it could result in less overpopulation. The result of overpopulation is the need of more money, the more money needed the harder it is to spread the resources of sanitation, food and clothes. It is believed that most parents in less economically developed countries only want small families, but the problem arises when the mother isn’t confident that all of her children will make it, so she has to have twice as many. But when she knows that her first few children will survive she can invest more money in her family. A new organisation has recently been put together to spread our vaccines to the very poorest countries in the world. This organisation is called GAVI (the global alliance for vaccines and immunisation). Since 1980 measles has gone down by a staggering 93 per cent!
