The actress and her husband, Mark Wilkerson, have sponsored three sisters in Zambia who are around the same ages as their own sons -- 13, 11 and six. They also purchased much-needed supplies for their entire village.
"To see what the difference from our culture to their culture... running water is considered a luxury here," Wilkerson explained. "She had gone maybe the first year of her life with really bad nutrition, and now she's three years old and still the size of a 1-year-old," Hart noted."It was painful to watch her mother hold her and the nurse to sit there and tell us that they've tried different things with her. She's starting to put on weight... but she's just not absorbing the nutrition. And they're really worried about her and concerned about her.
