Despite all this negative trend, the Tonga women have fought back and managed to create survival strategies for their families.

Child Welfare Policy and Practice in Zimbabwe
University of Zimbabwe, December 1994

So many young adults are dying of AIDS in Zimbabwe leaving a large number of orphans who will need care and assistance in their lives. It is estimated that by year 2000 there will be about 600,000 orphans as compared to the annual 60,000 during which time one in every six children may be an orphan. This unprecedented number of children who may require care and support indicates an urgent need to examine whether current policies, practices, resources and models of child care are capable of handling a long-term problem of this proportion. This study was undertaken in 1993/4 in an attempt to answer this question.
