Zambian Situation: The overall situation here is very grave. 20% of Zambian adults are HIV positive. About 2% of the population above 15 dies each year from AIDS or HIV related diseases. For the case of young mothers it is more concentrated. This 20% is not equally distributed throughout the age groups. Among 15 year old girls about half of them will not see their 40th birthdays because of this disease.
Just to make things worse, we have had back to back drought and bad weather and are facing a potential famine in this part of Africa. About 40% of Zambia’s 10 million people are at risk of starvation this year. When things get tough, people stop helping one another. The little ones, the aged and the sick are the first to die. There is no government program which can care for these people, no welfare, no foster program, no food stamps, only Christians.
