Unlike many other countries in Africa, there are few child sponsor programs in Angola, however there remain real issues with most children not having access to education and the levels of child malnutrition there at 45% are today the worst seen in Africa in the past decade. Emotionally around half of all children in the worst war torn areas of Angola have been shot at, lost their homes, or seen neighbours and members of their families killed.

UNICEF estimate that around one million children lost one parent in the war with some 300,000 losing both parents. A further 50,000 have been orphaned through AIDS, whilst 17,000 children aged under fifteen years old have the illness themselves.

Below are a few charities that you can contact to sponsor a child in Angola.
