Chipata, Zambia:
“In Chipata families are falling apart. Family breakdown and child abandonment are huge problems. One in six of all children are orphans, compared to one in 12 in the wider Zambian population. HIV/AIDS also has a devastating effect on local families. Chipata Children’s Village will be a safe and loving home for up to 130 children – and hundreds more will come and live there in the future. Help build Chipata Village.”
