Today marks the start of the Global Action Week for Education. We support this idea wholeheartedly, because we know how important and necessary this topic still is.
The children in Kasisi are fortunate enough to be able to study like their peers in Poland. Sister Mariola makes sure that every child receives a decent education, which will become a ticket to a better life in the future. However, for the children in the village next to our HOME, this is no longer so obvious and common.
We want to draw your attention today to the fact that there are still plenty of places where education does not exist at all or is at a very low level. Zambia is one such country. There are a lot of kids who live in the bush, and children’s rights, which say that the youngest have access to education, can often be treated like fairy tales. When a family is poor, or lives far from a town where there is a school, a cruel sentence falls on the child: NO EDUCATION!
When we know that the children who come to us still have siblings at home, we try to check the situation on site. When it turns out that families cannot afford to provide education for their children, we try to help where possible and pay for the school and transport to it.
The Global Action Week for Education is a great opportunity to fight together to make education accessible to all. Thanks to your support of the Adoptions from the Heart project, we can permanently help around 40 kids outside Kasisi. And today, together we can make education for more kids no longer a luxury, but the norm.
Your help can permanently reach beyond the walls of Kasisi. Fund a day of education for the siblings of our charges.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
