Child Sponsor Zimbabwe
| Previous | Auto/Stop | Next |
UNICEF figures from 2007 suggest that out of Zimbabwe's child population of 6,024,000, 120,000 children aged 14 and under are infected with AIDS and a further 1,000,000 children have been orphaned by the disease. This figure means that Zimbabwe has the highest number of orphans as a % of its population through AIDS than any other country on Earth. As a doctor in Zimbabwe grimly expressed the magnitude of the problem "Put simply, people are dying of AIDS before they can starve to death".
Many children in Zimbabwe have voted with their feet and attempt to flee the country across the dangerous Limpopo river where exploitation awaits. Aid programs in Zimbabwe focus on ensuring basic needs such as food are met in a country where unemployment is around 85%. You can help when you sponsor a child in Zimbabwe.
