Deborah came to Kasisi in July along with her twin brother. The very next day the kids were on their way to hospital. They had hunger sickness and were very neglected.
When things were getting better, it turned out that Deborah was lactose intolerant. Every sip of milk gave her severe diarrhoea. Only rice porridge on water keeps her alive. However, this cannot be the only meal for a 7-month-old baby.
That is why you are very much invited to go shopping for Kassisi today. Put lactose-free modified milk in your basket. It is not available in Zambia. In Poland, the cost of such milk is about 50 PLN, and imported from another African country, it costs 25 dollars.
We know that this is a lot, so we are not asking you for the whole can, but at least for a few measures, so that we can prepare a meal that will not burden Deborah’s body
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.
