The Cost of El Niño on Children in Southern Africa

Author:

Climate change is changing the life of children across Southern Africa with fears this will trigger a rise in transactional sex among young girls, while triggering deadly diseases like malaria.

A documentary takes an in-depth analysis of one of the underreported issues on climate change in Africa—the impact of extreme weather patterns on the health of children.

It looks at the vulnerability of children under the age of five in four nations across Southern Africa: Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, and Malawi.
