Tanzania orphan program may set example for continent
Supporters believe an innovative program in Tanzania to care for infants of mothers who die in childbirth might hold the key to cutting infant mortality rates and caring for Africa's 50 million orphans. Infants are cared for during the first two to three years of life at the Berega Orphanage, where female members of their extended families also reside, before returning home to their villages.
