I just learned something awful:Every hour, 80 infants die from HIV. Mostly due to entirely preventable mother-to-child transmission occurring at birth.
That means that during our 8-hour workday today, 640 babies will die. 700,000 babies will die this year.
And 15 babies' lives can be saved with all of $25. Total. It would cost less than $2 million dollars to save all those babies this year.
What a messed up world.
