•  Approximately 10% of Swazi households are headed by children. Many more are headed by grandmothers caring for orphan grandchildren
•  Some 25% of children can not attend school; however, Swaziland does have one of the highest literacy rates in Africa
•  Nearly half of the population is under 15, and roughly 35,000 children have lost parents due to HIV/AIDS. With the loss of so many adults, family income and food production have fallen dramatically.
• More than 80% of the people survive through subsistence agriculture. Thus the combination of severe weather, drought, and the loss of healthy farm workers due to HIV/AIDS is crippling the chances of survival for families and children in particular.
