Kathy Headlee can cite you sobering statistics about the humanitarian crisis in AIDS-ravaged Zambia, where more than 1 million desperate children have been orphaned by the disease. See the Media section for related stories.
Can you imagine a world where millions of children roam the streets, scavenging for food and shelter?
Can you imagine what life must be like for children who face life in the streets alone, unprotected and unloved?
You don't have to imagine it because this is our world today.
In fact:
- More than 36 million children under 15 are orphaned in Sub-Saharan Africa today.
- Every 14 seconds, a child is orphaned as a result of AIDS.
- It is feared that there may be more than 80 million orphans in India and Asia
Whether children are orphaned as a result of disease, poverty, violence or natural disaster, the results are the same - children alone. Mothers Without Borders is committed to supporting programs that offer sustainable, long-term solutions to this global orphan crisis.
Thank you to all who have collected supplies for distribution in Zambia! Your generosity has been overwhelming! If you are holding supplies that you have collected please click here. Due to the rising costs of fuel, we have suspended future shipments and therefore cannot accept any new donations of supplies. If you or your group would like to help the children we serve, find out how you can help!
