At GAC, we're working to spread the word in communities and halls of government about how to best invest in kids so we can achieve the biggest results for the littlest members of our global family.

We speak out on three broad areas that are vital to the growth of a child:

• Health: Every child needs access to vaccines, nutrition and medical treatment so he can survive against diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Also, maternal healthcare is equally important because healthy children need healthy mothers.
  
  
• Education: During a child's earliest years we must nurture her potential with early childhood development and then continue to support her with a quality primary and secondary education so in the future she can lead a healthier and more prosperous life for herself, her family and her community.
  
  
• Protection: When a child is made extremely vulnerable by poverty, abuse or the death of a parent, we need to create a safety net to support a girl at risk of child marriage or a boy whose family can't afford to care for him any longer.

In addition to our holistic advocacy work for the health, education and protection of every child, right now GAC is directing our energy on two specific campaigns for kids: vaccines and early childhood development.
