Home: Lusaka, Zambia
HIV/AIDS activist Winstone Zulu describes how shops and bars have sprung up around graveyards in Zambia to cater for the large numbers of burials. Almost one in five Zambians are HIV-positive and more than half a million children have been orphaned by AIDS. Few families have been untouched by the illness.
