UNICEF - FACTS FOR LIFE FOR CHILDREN
Each year, around 9 million children die from preventable and treatable
illnesses before reaching their fifth birthday. Many die during their first
year of life. Countless more children live in precarious situations and face
diminished futures. The handbook, Facts for Life, provides vital
messages and information for mothers, fathers, other family members and
caregivers and communities to use in changing behaviours and practices that can
save and protect the lives of children and help them grow and develop to their
full potential. This version of Facts for Life builds on the three
previous editions, which have been helping families and communities around the
world since 1989. Newborn Health has been added to the Safe
Motherhood chapter, giving attention to child survival from the first
stage of life. A new chapter, Child Protection, has been included,
focusing attention on the actions needed to ensure children grow up in
protective environments.
