In Kabwe, Zambia, decades of lead and zinc mining have left the soil saturated with toxic contamination. More than 95 percent of children in the worst-affected areas exceed the World Health Organization's blood-lead safety threshold. An estimated 140,000 women and children have been exposed, even though the mine closed in 1994 -- 6.4 million tonnes of uncovered lead waste still sit in open dumps. For Kabwe's children, playing outside or walking barefoot can cause irreversible harm. Lead poisoning leads to intellectual and physical disabilities, stunted development, and lifelong health challenges. We pray for the children and families of Kabwe -- for healing where damage has been done, for justice as 140,000 seek accountability in the courts, and for the health workers and advocates fighting to make their city safe. May these children know the futures they deserve.
