This week, Global Citizen projected urgent messages onto Parliament and Tower Bridge. The call was clear: no child should be left behind.

Since 2000, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has helped immunise over 1.1 billion children and prevented more than 18 million deaths. But as of 2024, 14.5 million children — most in the world’s poorest places — received no vaccines at all.

That’s a crisis for all of us. Gavi not only saves lives — it strengthens global health systems and helps prevent future outbreaks from turning into global emergencies.

The UK has been a proud supporter of Gavi for years. Now, with the 2025 replenishment approaching, it's time to step up again. With strong UK support, Gavi can reach 500 million more children by 2030.

Add your name to call for bold UK leadership. Because every child deserves a shot at life.
