They're sobering statistics: daily, 18,000 children die from ailments such as diarrhoea, malaria, and pneumonia. Nearly half of that total expires prior to their first month. Add to the 800 mothers who die every day from ailments including post-partum haemorrhage and illnesses, higher blood pressure during pregnancy and unsafe abortions.
Many of these deaths can be avoided through cheap, simple, frequently community-based solutions which enhance local health care, increase access and aid to deal with health inequities for women, children and adolescents. Working with its global partners, the Canadian Red Cross has made significant contributions to saving lives in remote, impoverished regions by enhancing local health programs.
Canadian Red Cross plans to address women's and children's health have especially proven critical in countries affected by conflict and catastrophe, where lots of kids and women are cut off from essential health services.

Examples of where Canadian Red Cross efforts have made a difference:

● Kenya: Within time, a 45 percent increase in infants exclusively breastfed for six months.
● Honduras: Urging men to have a greater role in preventing maternal and child mortality.
● Liberia: Increases between 49 and 74 per cent in children treated for diarrhoea, malaria, and pneumonia.
● Mali: Increasing number of newborns who received a healthcare visit by 19 per cent.
● Pakistan: providing tens of thousands of messages encouraging women to receive antenatal care.
● Philippines: Assisting in the delivery of over 400 infants in the month following Typhoon Haiyan.
● Syria: Supporting five nutrition centres to deal with malnutrition in children.
All these include a metal lid, with rubber at the centre where the needle goes into draw the liquid vaccination out. It just seems a pity to throw so many cool little bottles off, but they're not recyclable.
I would be interested in taking these off anyone's hands to use for crafts. I didn't even think about asking my vet to get theirs but today I am going to.
I use similar bottles for clay jobs. I get them out of my vets office. She's careful that which she gives me. I take them home and wash them up. They decorate them with polymer clay and give them for vaccine bottles of trust. I set my own spin on it and donate a few straight back into the vet for people that loose their pets. Vet and staff love it. Stores easily and keeps them secure.
