Brief description of the situation:
Nigeria faces significant challenges in providing healthcare services to vulnerable children. Many children suffer from treatable illnesses such as malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia, which can quickly become life-threatening if left untreated.

The situation is exacerbated by:

- Limited access to healthcare facilities, especially in rural areas

Improve health outcomes for vulnerable children in Nigeria by:
* Reducing infant mortality rates by 30% within the next 12 months
* Increasing vaccination coverage to at least 80%
* Reducing the prevalence of malnutrition among children under 5 by 30%
