About this organization
Mission
To eliminate childhood lead poisoning and improve the health, wellbeing and potential of children worldwide
About
Let’s end childhood lead exposure. We drive effective policies to eliminate lead poisoning across the globe. Globally, an estimated one in three children has dangerous levels of lead in their bloodstream. Exposure to lead irreversibly affects a child’s cognitive development, undermining their potential, and causes cardiovascular disease, anemia and kidney damage. An important cause of lead exposure is lead paint, which is unregulated in 55% of countries globally. Young children are particularly vulnerable to lead exposure from flaking paint and contaminated dust. Alternative, non-lead-based ingredients for paint exist and have been on the market for decades in many countries. Elimination of leaded petrol was a global success story. We can do the same for paint. What We Do: Conduct paint studies to obtain country-specific data Support governments in implementing lead paint regulations Provide technical assistance to help paint manufacturers switch to lead-free
