Help African children enjoy fulfilling lives

Agriculture accounts for more than 15% of Africa's GDP, but nearly 800 million people in Africa are hungry. African countries have the highest rate of malnutrition in the world. And Africa accounts for 42% of the world's disabled people, many of whom are children. Whether they are born with disabilities or caused by disease, landmines or other injuries, disabled children in developing countries often feel isolated, lonely and have little hope.
