“DIARRHEA KILLS 1.6 MILLION CHILDREN EVERY YEAR. A SIMPLE TABLET ADMINISTERED AT THE FIRST SIGN OF ILLNESS COULD CHANGE THAT.”TIME MAGAZINE (17th August 2009)
THE FACTS
• Diarrhea kills more children than malaria or AIDS across Africa and Asia
• In Mali one in five children never see their 5th birthday
• Zinc boosts the body’s immunity preventing diarrhea from turning deadly
• It cost less than 20p for a 14-day zinc course
• Every 20p can save a life!

In Morola, a village near the Guinea border five women gathered to talk about their lives. The group had lost seven children between them, four to diarrhea.
In Sogola, a village in Mali packets of tablets have been received by Save the Children. One of the villagers, Traore, has been tracking the deaths caused by diarrhea. “Since Zinc arrived we have had no deaths from diarrhea.”
