In Ethiopia one of of every six children dies before reaching their fifth birthday, most suffer from malnutrition, 70% of all children there don't have access to primary education and only 11% have access to safe water, with even less having proper sanitation facilities.

It is hard to believe that 650,000 children in Ethiopia have been orphaned by AIDS, with a further 92,000 children under the age of 15yrs infected themselves.
