The GAVI Fund's mission is to act as a catalyst harnessing resources so that all the world's children have equal access to lifesaving vaccines. A child in a developing country is 10 times more likely to die of a vaccine-preventable disease than a child in the industrialized world. The GAVI Fund focuses its energies on bringing vaccines and resources to the world's poorest countries to end this needless loss of life. The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) provides lifesaving vaccines to millions of children around the world, while creating a model for fiscal accountability and collaboration. GAVI's mission is simple: to ensure that every child, everywhere has equal access to life-saving vaccines.
