Ethiopia

There are great challenges in Ethiopia where the statistics are stacked against the children:

• 1 in 10 children die before their first birthday
• 60% of children are stunted because of malnutrition
• 720,000 children have been orphaned by AIDS alone and there are 4.6 million total orphans now
• 50% of the children will never attend school
• The doctor to child ratio is 1:24,000
