The Infectious Disease Toll

Without support, diseases that were once controlled are spreading through populations.

  • HIV: Pediatric and adult HIV programs are losing essential antiretroviral stocks.
  • Child TB: 1.5 million deaths projected in the coming years due to loss of USAID funding.
Healthcare workers treating patients in clinic

Frontline staff are losing the resources needed to treat preventable sicknesses.

Healthcare worker providing maternal and child care

Cuts to food and maternal aid target the most vulnerable children and mothers.

Maternal & Infant Toll

Health aid freezes target the most vulnerable during childbirth.

  • Pregnancy Deaths: 34,000 preventable deaths are projected annually due to reproductive care cuts.
  • Newborn Survival: 11.3 million infants will lose essential care in their first 48 hours.

95M losing healthcare access
~2.4M preventable deaths/year

The Project's Value: 60 Years of Impact

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy to administer foreign economic and humanitarian aid. Running for over 60 years, the project has saved an estimated 92 million lives over the last two decades. Its primary purpose is to promote diplomacy, stability, and global security by preventing health and economic threats before they can spread.
