the challenge

Why we’ve joined forces
We believe that children deserve a future free from lead exposure. By combining the expertise of the public, private and civil sectors, we’re making that vision a reality with a first-of-its-kind partnership. Our mission is clear: to protect every child’s right to health and well-being, allowing them to achieve their full potential. It will take time and effort. But the return on the investment is enormous: improved health, increased productivity, higher IQs, less violence, and brighter futures for millions of children across the planet.

Addressing the issue of lead pollution is a big challenge that cannot be met overnight, or by one company or one sector. It calls for robust public-private partnerships. We are calling on others from government, industry and civil society to join us to work toward solutions to this preventable issue and protect millions of children.
