By the end of 2005, In Zambia alone there were approximately 710,000 children under the age of 17 who had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Due to the staggering percentage of children who are growing up in orphanages Christian World Outreach (CWO) has partnered with a local orphanage to assist with the medical and physical care of children placed in the orphanage. Additionally, the CWO staff spends time with the children teaching them arts & crafts, playing football (soccer) and other recreational activities.
