Unilever, one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies, will be our main corporate partner on our EVERY ONE campaign over the next three years it was announced today during the launch of The Unilever Foundation, at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The Unilever Foundation is a key action that Unilever is taking to help achieve its goal of helping more than one billion people improve their health and well-being by 2020, and in turn, create a sustainable future.
One child dies every four seconds. Our global EVERY ONE campaign’s ambitious aim is to ensure the world keeps to the promise made through Millennium Development Goal 4 to reduce the child mortality by two thirds by 2015.
Most of these deaths can be prevented. We know what is needed to prevent them and this ground breaking partnership which will train more health workers and improve access to life-saving vaccines, ensuring more children and mothers are reached with high impact health and nutrition programs.
The partnership will also provide a platform to help us build a global movement to create the public and political will for a global breakthrough on child survival.

This partnership will help us to deliver transformational change to millions of children's lives around the world through our EVERY ONE campaign.”
