"AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE"


13 of 13

The future doesn't hold much hope for this young girl orphaned by AIDS and living in an orphan-headed household in the Willowfontain Township outside of Pietermeritzburg, South Africa. Young orphans like this girl, especially those living in orphan-headed households, are much more vulnerable to violent crimes like rape and are often forced into becoming sex slaves.
