Child Sponsor Equatorial Guinea
Today Equatorial Guinea is a large exporter of oil and, as such, has a thriving economy, however very little of that wealth has extended to the poorer in society where some 70% of the country live below the United Nation's poverty threshold.
In Equatorial Guinea one in five children die before the age of five usually from diarrhoea, cholera and other diseases linked to poor water supplies and around half of the child population of the country live in single parent homes, normally because of high levels of adult mortality due to HIV/AIDS.
Equatorial Guinea's constitution enshrines the protection of children's physical and psychological health and normal development however child labour is both legal and widespread.
