Journey to Jo'burg by Beverly Naidoo is a super book dealing with what life was like for a typical black family in South Africa during the apartheid years.
Also by Beverly Naidoo - The Great Tug of War - a series of charming African fables about Mmutla the hare who is always one step ahead of the other animals.
Christophe's Story is a very thoughtful and moving story about a Rwandan refugee who has moved to the UK.
For older pupils (upper KS2/KS3) I would recommend The Garbage King by Elizabeth Laird which offers a realistic look at the tough life of children living in poverty in Ethiopa.
Also I am a Cloud, I can Blow Anywhere by Jonathon and Shirley Tulloch, a story about Mulumbe whose grandmother teaches her about the wisdom of her ancestors and who embarks on a dangerous journey to save her family.

Thanks for recommendation Ferelith. Not one that I know but I've just purchased a second hand copy on Amazon.
