A baby is crying. Is it from hunger? Is it from disease?
No, he’s one of the lucky ones. Like babies the world over, he’s crying because it’s vaccination day. These are the tears that make mothers smile.
Immunization saves more lives than any other health intervention. Yet in the poorest countries, millions die because they lack access to vaccines developed nations take for granted.
"Childhood immunization is undoubtedly the best investment we have ever made."
— Bill and Melinda Gates
Infectious diseases conquered in rich nations still kill, disable, and impoverish people in much of the developing world - robbing them of hope for a better future.
The world needs changing - and is changing, with the help of the GAVI Alliance. Our partnership has vaccinated more than 180 million children and prevented nearly three million deaths. Our innovative finance is underwriting improved health services in 72 nations that are home to half the world’s people.
This is a global transformation to believe in and be part of.
