Prolonged Drought in Zambia Causes Food Price Increases
Zambia is facing a national disaster due to a prolonged dry spell, causing the price of staple food to surge. To combat hunger and rising prices, the African Education Program has joined hands with the Amos Youth Centre (AYC) in Kafue, Zambia, to launch a Nutrition Program. The program provides meals with an average of 1,500 calories to more than 350 children and youth every school day. VOA's Paul Ndiho spoke to Paul Chisunka, Country Director of the African Education Program, based in Lusaka, Zambia, to gain more insight into the program.
