Zambia is suffering from a severe drought that has Zambia is suffering from a severe drought that has destroyed over one million hectares of maize, nearly half of the nation's crop. President Hakainde Hichilema has declared it a national disaster and emergency. This crisis unfolds against a backdrop of pre-existing food insecurity and escalating inflation along with the threat to safe water access raises the likelihood of water-borne diseases such as cholera, as well as malaria. The UN has reported that Zambia possesses one of the highest rates of malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa, with 35% of children under five stunted and 4% acutely malnourished or wasted. Additionally, the stress from the drought is likely to increase gender-based violence and child marriage. Our mission in Zambia is thus underscored as we persist in supporting local communities and providing for the 90 children attending Makangala Pre-school, a task we can accomplish only with our donors' support.

He is now attending an inclusive boarding school and is loving both learning and moving independently in his very first wheelchair. With the help of our generous donors, we can support him and his mum and provide him with a wheelchair to help keep him mobile.
