- Each year, millions of children are being orphaned
or abandoned in Africa as a result of the AIDS pandemic.
- Zambia has an estimated 1.1 million orphans out of a total national
population of 11 million. Many of these children have no one to turn
to for help.
- Desperation, human misery, and hopelessness are increasing, with
no end in sight.
- The productive, working-age generation of adults is rapidly disappearing,
resulting in poverty and famine.
