I heard a statistic about children and pneumonia, and when I went to confirm, I found this article. http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/13/699805
It is so horrible to think of children dying. Pneumonia is a serious disease; actually, it is the world’s leading killer of children, taking 1.8 million children per year. But, in Uganda, it is exceptionally bad because there is a lack of treatment for suffering children. Many pneumonia deaths could be prevented if children were taken to get their medications and treatments. In Uganda, less than 20% of infected children receive antibiotics, which costs less that $1 each child. Please pray with me that (1) Uganda parents will understand the risk and take their children to seek medical care and (2) there will be plentiful supply of antibiotics at an affordable rate for poverty stricken families to get relief. Thank you for your prayers, and thank you for helping us help Ugandans. God bless!
