An earthquake struck Mozambique.

The above sequence shows the home of an HIV infected widow who's husband died of AIDS.  Her infant was also infected with HIV.  The local area had a recent rare earthquake and this woman's home was falling down.  The villagers helped demolish the front half of the home and after reinforcing the back wall made of bamboo, rocks and mud, we built a new front and placed a tin roof on the structure.  This was now one of the finest homes in the community. 1 in 6 children in Mozambique die before the age of 5.  Many die from AIDS, infections, diarrhea and malnurishment.  Millions of children are orpaned every year in Africa and it is estimated that there are 40 million orphans on the continent with more joining the ranks every day.  Care for Life teaches families life skills and knowledge that help preserve the family unit.  Healthier families reduce the number of orphans in their communities.
