title: Family demography in a remote rural community in Zambia.
abstract: A community survey was conducted in a remote rural area of Zambia by The Kasanka Trust whose aims in running a National Park are to include aid to the community living around its borders. Selected results have been extracted from a general report by the Kasanka Trust, including awareness of HIV infection and tuberculosis. The remarkable population dynamics found in this apparently impoverished, poorly served community is highlighted.
