The Value of a Child's Life in Congo

"Child mortality is a sensitive indicator of a country’s development and telling evidence of its priorities and values. Investing in the health of children and their mothers is not only a human rights imperative, it is a sound economic decision and one of the surest ways for a country to set its course towards a better future." UNICEF - The State of the World's Children 2008

One out of five children die before their fifth birthday in Congo.  Subsaharan African countries have the highest child mortality rates in the world.

 

You must conclude that a child's life has little value.
