Zambian Child Headed Household

These children living in a two room house outside Lusaka, Zambia lost their parents to AIDS when the oldest child was 16 years old. Since then they have managed to get themselves into a program sponsored by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria that provides medicines, food support, and school support. These photographs were shot on assignment for the GF in November 2013 and will be used in the GF Annual Report, Progress Report, and fund raising materials.
