Malita lives with her mother, brother and two sisters in Kalikiliki, a township near the Zambian capital, Lusaka.
Like many, Malita's family struggle to survive on the meagre wage her mother brings home, unable to afford decent food or an education. Sadly Malita's father died when she was little, leaving them with nothing.
Give £10 per month and you'll become part of CARE for the Child. Every month, you will help families like Malita's to change their lives, by providing essentials like clean water, decent food and an education.
In return you'll receive regular updates including photos, drawings and letters from Malita and other children you are helping. You'll be able to watch her grow up and see how your gifts are helping her to live a happier, healthier life.
