CHALLENGE 03. Pop Tabs, Big Actions

Why do I have to do these challenges?

Living a healthy life is essential for the human being. Universal and accessible health care for all is still not possible. United Nations alert: “In 2018 an estimated 6.2 million children and adolescents under the age of 15 years died, mostly from preventable causes”. But this is not the only thing, there is still maternal death in middle- and low-income countries. 

On the other hand, to improve our health we must be aware of the importance of playing sports and eating well. Think about it: what can we change here? Let’s do everything we can to guarantee everyone a healthier life! Choose your challenge to support SDG 03.

Pop Tabs, Big Actions

Did you know that by recycling Pop Tabs you can afford some of Ronald Mcdonald House’s expenses?

The  goal of this challenge is to know the work of Ronald McDonald House Charities and support its maintenance.

Students will need to pick up different Pop Tabs and send them in an envelope to the houses. These Pop Tabs will later be used to support the accommodation and meals of severely ill children and their families.

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Currently, the world is facing a global health crisis unlike any other — COVID-19 is spreading human suffering, destabilizing the global economy and upending the lives of billions of people around the globe. 

Before the pandemic, major progress was made in improving the health of millions of people. Significant strides were made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality. But more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues. By focusing on providing more efficient funding of health systems, improved sanitation and hygiene, and increased access to physicians, significant progress can be made in helping to save the lives of millions.

Health emergencies such as COVID-19 pose a global risk and have shown the critical need for preparedness. The United Nations Development Programme highlighted huge disparities in countries’ abilities to cope with and recover from the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic provides a watershed moment for health emergency preparedness and for investment in critical 21st century public services.
