Samuel Morris Foundation Australian charity supporting children disabled by non-fatal drowning, and preventing future drowning death and disability.

In Australia and other developed nations drowning is one of the three leading causes of accidental death in 0-4 year olds. In some jurisdictions drowning is in fact the leading cause of injury related death in this age group. Sadly the death toll from drowning is only part of the picture………. Every year hundreds of Australian children aged 0-4 are admitted to hospital following a non-fatal drowning. Tragically the equivalent of a whole classroom full of children in this age group will lose their lives. Almost one quarter (22.5%) of those admitted to hospital following a non-fatal drowning will suffer a brain injury due to lack of oxygen that will result in disabilities for life, meaning the equivalent of another whole classroom full of children will sustain disabilities through non fatal drowning events. Many of the children who survive with brain injuries will need a wide range of equipment, support and services and the Samuel Morris Foundation is here to help provide it.
