Save the Children partnership

How we’re working with Save the Children to save one million children’s lives

Every day 15,000 children under the age of five die - most from preventable causes. We’re working together with Save the Children to change that.

Our pioneering and powerful partnership with Save the Children has now been extended. We continue to work together combining our scientific and manufacturing expertise with Save the Children’s on-the-ground experience to find new ways to help bring down the number of children dying from preventable and treatable diseases.
