Zambia - Our Africa

Zambia is a huge country, with a rather unusual shape (like a butterfly). Though it can be hot in the lower valleys, much of the land lies across a high plateau where temperatures are more pleasant. Many Zambians rely on traditional farming. Daily life can be a struggle, particularly when crops fail or people have to cope with illnesses.

Economy of Zambia - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia

Zambia is one of Sub-Saharan Africa's most highly urbanized countries. About one-half of the country's 11.5 million people are concentrated in a few urban zones strung along the major transportation corridors, while rural areas are under-populated. Unemployment and underemployment are serious problems.
