A lifeline in freefall: Inaction could cost a million lives over 10 years if Pepfar disappears
Models show that losing Pepfar completely could cost South Africa between 600 000 and a million lives over ten years, depending on how quickly and effectively the health system responds.

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death.
Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

My latest article on Our World in Data, looking at foreign aid and the difference we can make with personal donations:
ourworldindata.org/foreign-aid-...

For many of us, it doesn’t cost much to improve someone’s life, and we can do much more of it
Most countries spend less than 1% of their national income on foreign aid; even small increases could make a big difference.
