....because each/every child deserves a chance (Marketing 101)

Each..... Every....... All? What's in a word? Each word we decide to use is loaded with meaning.  Each, Every, All....



http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/adjectives-determiners-each-every.htm:

Each expresses the idea of 'one by one'. It emphasizes individuality.
Every is half-way between each and all. It sees things or people as singular, but in a group or in general.
Consider the following:
  • Every artist is sensitive.
  • Each artist sees things differently.
  • Every soldier saluted as the President arrived.
  • The President gave each soldier a medal.
Each can be used in front of the verb:
  • The soldiers each received a medal.
Each can be followed by 'of':
  • The President spoke to each of the soldiers.
  • He gave a medal to each of them.

Every cannot be used for 2 things. For 2 things, each can be used:
  • He was carrying a suitcase in each hand.
Every is used to say how often something happens:
  • There is a plane to Bangkok every day.
  • The bus leaves every hour.
