This document discusses using Coca-Cola's universal distribution system to deliver aid products for children's health in developing countries. It notes that Coca-Cola can be found virtually anywhere, while 1 in 5 children in developing countries die before age 5 with little progress in the last 25 years. It proposes using Coca-Cola crates and bottles to distribute aidpods containing low-cost medicines, with local groups determining what, when, where and how the products are used at destinations. It acknowledges potential concerns but argues this could be done through partnerships to strengthen health systems while applying principles of local determination, low market value, and low friction. Next steps proposed include working in Africa, building support, fundraising, and further product and

Editor's Notes
- #2: My name is Simon Berry and I am the founder and leader of ColaLife – a campaign to get Coca-Cola to open up its distribution networks to take social products that save lives.
- #3: ColaLife is built on 2 facts: FACT 1: You can buy a Coca-Cola virtually anywhere you go even in the most remote areas of developing countries
- #5: FACT 2: 1 in 5 children in these areas die before their 5th birthday from preventable causes like dehydration from diarrhoea. This is not a new problem. 4,000 young children die everyday in Africa alone and this has been the case since records began. Our campaign is summed up in this 30 second video
- #6: Let’s just do a recap of the figures we saw in the animation. The number of children under 5 who die, in Africa alone, is: That's 4 children a minute. 4,000 a day Or to look at it another way, 40 million since 1988 when I first had this idea. Again, this is in Africa alone.
- #7: FACT 2: 1 in 5 children in these areas die before their 5th birthday from preventable causes like dehydration from diarrhoea. This is not a new problem. 4,000 young children die everyday in Africa alone and this has been the case since records began. Our campaign is summed up in this 30 second video
- #8: I spent the first 12 years of my career living and working in South America and Africa on the British Overseas Aid Programme. In 1988 I was working in NE Zambia. A very remote area with only 2 people per square kilometre where 'slash and burn' was the traditional form of agriculture. This is where the ColaLife story started. Despite the level of development of the area, its remoteness and the shockingly high levels of child mortality you could get a Coca-Cola in most places.
