Child Sponsor Zambia

In rural areas 78% of the population of Zambia live under the poverty line, dropping to around 53% in urban areas. Life expectancy is an appalling 38 years, not least because 15% of the population has AIDS/HIV.
As a consequence of the high rate of mortality it is estimated that some 500,000 children in Zambia are orphans (30% of all children in Zambia under the age of 15 are orphans) with many of them heading towards urban areas simply to survive by begging, forced labour and/or sexual exploitation.
