57% of South Africa's population live in poverty with 50,000 children dying each year from curable diseases or malnutrition. One in twenty children die before the age of five, nearly 20% of the adult population suffer from AIDS/HIV ( 280,000 children are also infected.) 1.4 million children have lost a parent to AIDS and overall there are around three million orphans in the country.
Work in South Africa focuses on the provision of education (not least the health effects of Aids), clean water projects and immunisation and health programs.
