Every year 9 million children under the age of 5 die – most of them from preventable causes like diarrhoea. At the beginning of September three of the UK’s best known mummy bloggers are heading to Bangladesh to see the work Save the Children does with children and mums first hand.
Follow them as they flex their multimedia skills to campaign for change. They will be tweeting, creating video and photo galleries and writing about their experiences live and direct from Bangladesh.

Blogging for just over a year, Josie’s blog sleepisfortheweak.org.uk is currently ranked No.1 in the Tots 100 Index of UK Parent Blogs.
“The chance to visit Save the Children’s inspirational projects in Bangladesh, and come back laden with images and words that we can then use to move and inform people and affect positive change is an incredibly exciting opportunity and one I am honoured to be a part of. As key members of the thriving UK Parent Blogging community, we have the potential to reach a huge number of people and make a real difference on behalf of mothers and their children across the globe. I can’t wait to see get started and to use our blogs as a platform for such a worthwhile cause.”
