A Little Is A Lot For Those With Nothing

Each year, 22 million people die from preventable causes, such as polluted water or the lack of nutrition, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. These groups are taking some of the top lights:

**** A child dies every eight seconds from water-borne disease. Global Water builds wells in very poor communities in Romania, Central America and Africa. Go to global www. water. org.

**** As much as 80 percent of the world's population may be lacking in iron. UNICEF supplies iron supplements (补充) to women and children in more than 100 countries, preventing anemia (贫血症), low birth weight and death. Their greeting cards, calendars and gifts help fund the program; visit www. unicef. org

**** Mercy Corps fed more than 150,000 mouths in 2003. Still, more than one-quarter of children worldwide are underweight. One dollar helps feed 15 kids in developing countries like India; learn more at www. mercycorps. org.
