Meeting the Millennium Development Goals depends on reaching vulnerable children throughout the developing world.

There are still too few helicopters to reach more than 1,000 remote villages with lifesaving supplies that children urgently need.

Most housing has been destroyed in the hardest-hit areas, so the survival of thousands of young children is now at stake.

To ensure that children are protected, the abuse and exploitation of children must be brought to light and those who violate children brought to justice.

Few things have more impact than nutrition on a child's ability to survive, learn effectively and escape a life of poverty.
