The Generation to End Child Deaths from Malnutrition
This private, off-record convening will bring together a small group of philanthropists with the capacity and conviction to help end child deaths from malnutrition within our lifetime.
Every year, 2 million children die from malnutrition. That’s one child every 16 seconds. This tragedy is not due to a lack of solutions. Proven, highly cost-effective interventions exist. What is missing is a lean, catalytic funding platform capable of unlocking cost-effective solutions at scale.
This conversation will explore a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build exactly that.
Through prior initiatives, we have demonstrated that impact is possible when financing is aligned, predictable, and focused on results. Now, a new funding platform is being established to overcome persistent systemic barriers — fragmentation, bureaucracy, underfunding, and lack of transparency — and to unlock billions in public funding through catalytic philanthropic investment.
We will discuss:
The true scale and urgency of child deaths from malnutrition
Why proven solutions are not reaching the children who need them
A bold vision for dramatically and cost-effectively reducing child mortality
A public-private campaign designed to leverage philanthropic capital to unlock public funding
How this room can spark the next child survival revolution and end one of the greatest injustices of our time
This is a confidential, high-trust roundtable discussion hosted by William Moore, CEO and Chairman of the Eleanor Crook Foundation and Kara Weiss, Executive Director of CRI Foundation.
Participation from philanthropists with a strong interest in global health, maternal and child health, child survival, and evidence-based, cost-effective approaches is encouraged, but space is limited.
The session will include brief framing remarks, moderated discussion, and time for informal exchange.
This gathering is intended not only to inform — but to catalyze commitment.
