UNICEF's "State of the World's Children 2008" report put the fact about what's really our children around the world have their live:
Two thirds of child deaths that occured last year were due to entirely preventable causes.
Each year, an estimated 2 million children under the age of five worldwide die from diarrhea. An estimated 88 percent of these deaths come from living in poverty.
In developing countries, 1 in 5 people don't have access to clean water, and roughly half are without adequate sanitation.
Between 250,000 and 500,000 children are blinded each year because thay don't get enough Vitamin A, which only costs pennies for a doze.
Thirty percent of children in developing countries do not attend school.
An estimated 246 million children between the ages of five and 17 are engaged in children labor.
Of these, nearly 70 percent or 171 million children are working in hazardous situations or conditions, such as in mines, with agricultural chemicals and pesticides, or with dangerous machinery.
Some 73 million of them are under 10 year old.
