“Children at Risk” refers to, among other things, children who live in poverty, are threatened by health challenges, have lost one or both parents, and have experienced trauma. In Africa, many factors contribute to the tens of millions of at-risk children on the continent. Illnesses from unsafe drinking water, malaria, and malnutrition are just a few of these. Every year millions of young children die from diseases that can be easily prevented or treated. Children also suffer the trauma of war, displacement, physical abuse, and sexual exploitation.Through all 4 of our other focus programs and initiatives, we aim to empower these children to reach their full potential and lead happy, healthy lives.
