Here’s why I’m calling on governments, donors, and the private sector to join our global call to action for a #LeadFreeFuture :

USAID is working to ensure every child can live safely and without the fear and harmful effects of lead exposure. Preventing exposure to lead is critically important for children's development. We’re making progress towards a #LeadFreeFuture .
