Chipata, Zambia
High rates of poverty, disease, and HIV and AIDS in Chipata have left thousands of children without parental care. Our SOS Children’s Village community in the region provides long-term family care to more than one hundred children, and works within the wider community to alleviate hardship and help struggling families stay together. Our nursery school, medical centre and social centre provide children and their families with essential health and nutritional services, income-generating skills, education and vocational training, HIV and AIDS prevention, and psycho-social support.
