With over 700,000 cases and counting, South Africa has been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This dire situation already compounds the fate of the most vulnerable in the country. 50% of young people live below the poverty line. South Africa has the 6th highest unemployment rate in the world. It ranks 137th out of 139 countries on quality of public education and last in quality of mathematics and science education. South Africa has the highest population of people living with AIDS in the world at 7.1 million.
