    9. Why pneumonia?
    Pneumonia is the number one killer of children under the age of five worldwide. Every 15 seconds a child dies from pneumonia and two million children under the age of 5 die from pneumonia each year. Pneumonia is really easy to prevent and to cure, and we are committed to raising money and political will to fight the effect of this devastating disease.
