So many years have passed since Banji could hug her mother… That day has just arrived. What’s more – the girl has finally met her older sisters!
Banji’s mother, although she loved her daughter very much, could not manage to take care of her. To this day, she still struggles with mental illness. The girl’s mother needed care herself, so Banji, who was five months old at the time, was transferred into the loving hands of the sisters in Kasisi.
The parents’ trips to Kasisi cost money, but are vitally important. Parents, who are often unable to provide a meal for their child, can’t even afford a one-way ticket. But we know that children need contact with them. They need to feel that their parents remember them and that they are cheering them on at every stop on their journey toward adulthood.
We have encouraged Banji’s mother to visit more often, assuring that we will cover travel expenses.
By supporting Kasisi, you are providing the children with a real, safe home, but also bringing them closer to the home they already know. You can now donate a ticket to Kasisi for a parent whose visit will bring great joy to the child!
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.
