The day a baby is born is the most dangerous day of life in rich and poor countries. Babies born too soon are at risk for hypothermia, breathing difficulties, infections and impaired development.

Be a catalyst for change – Be a baby’s lifeline

Each newborn has the promise of a life – of love, family and achievement. In Vietnam, many children never get the change to live beyond their first day, and the promise is lost.
