Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for Team YS! Several of us will be making a 12-mile walk with our friends and family to raise money and awareness for families in Zambia. The walk will be held on September 13th at Lake Murray Park in La Mesa, CA. 

Zambia, a country where 11.5 million people live on less than $2 US per day, is stricken with one of the worst HIV and AIDS problems in Africa. With 16% of the population HIV positive and over 1,000,000 children already orphaned by AIDS, this struggling country is groaning under the weight of the AIDS pandemic.

Zambia is an arid country and the community of Twachiyanda is located in one of the driest places within Zambia. 40% of people living in Twachiyanda lack sustainable access to safe water supplies. The people of Twachiyanda, mainly the women and young girls, must walk five to six miles to collect water for their families, and in many cases the water they collect is contaminated. When people have compromised immune systems as a result of HIV and AIDS, drinking contaminated water could be a death sentence.

Please support Team YS by making a tax-deductible donation on our web page. Donating is simple and completely secure. World Vision will use these gifts to build fresh water borehole wells in Twachiyanda. YOU can be the difference in a child's life and future!
