Alice came to Kasisi following the death of her mother. Orphanhood is not the only pain she had to face. Born with cerebral palsy, she struggled to walk for a long time. After prolonged and challenging physiotherapy, she began to move, though she still has paralysis on the right side of her body. However, thanks to her immense determination, she does not give up. She is incredibly stubborn and perseveres in her fight against the disease. Despite her limitations, she enjoys physical work and the challenges that household duties present to her. She loves reading. Every task completed is a cause for joy for her.
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.
