Fun fact: (ok, not so fun)
About 96 of every 1,000 children born in SSA in 2005 did not reach their first birthday. Another 163 of every 1,000 children will not reach their fifth birthday. These figures are twice the world averages.
I did the math twice, and that basically means that 25% of kids born in Sub-Saharan Africa don't live to see their 5th birthday. 1 out of 4, if you will.
Good times, good times.
Sigh... and I'm only on page 14.
