Providing life-saving treatments for young children

Clear Solutions envisions a world in which no child dies a preventable death from diarrhoeal disease
Our Work

500,000

Nearly 500,000 children die of diarrheal disease every year. 

This accounts for the second-largest killer of children under 5-years-old globally.

Clear Solutions improves access to and awareness of a simple treatment that could prevent >90% of those deaths.

Less than $1

This effective treatment costs less than 1 dollar.

THE TREATMENT: ORS and Zinc

Oral rehydration solution (ORS)

  • Mixture of Water, Sugar, and Salts

  • Helps prevent dehydration, the primary cause of children’s deaths due to diarrhoea

  • Prevents up to 93% of diarrhoea deaths

 
Zinc tablets

  • Restore function of the intestines, boosts the immune system

  • Reduces the duration of the diarrheal episode and helps prevent future episodes for 2-3 months.

OUR APPROACH

ORS & Zinc have saved millions of lives in recent decades. However, they are tragically under-used by some of the communities most in need worldwide.

Our intervention focuses upon increasing ORS & Zinc usage in sub-Saharan Africa.
Clear Solutions partners with Community Health Worker organisations to reach the communities who can benefit most from ORS and Zinc. We focus on supporting and collaborating with existing health organisations.
We welcome potential collaborators from healthcare organisations in sub-Saharan Africa, local and international non-governmental organisations, and aligned charities. Please do contact us.
