  • Afghan orphans wait in line to eat lunch at an overcrowded orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan September 1, 2002.

Despite the huge amounts of foreign aid being brought into the country, many schools and orphanges have seen none of it yet and the alarming rates of child mortality continue to remain among the worst in the world. One in four children die before the age of 5 here.
