Anna Maria was born with albinism, and from her very first moments, her life was marked by hardship. Her mother passed away shortly after giving birth, and although the girl’s grandparents love her dearly, they felt unable to provide the care she needed.
Fate led her to Kasisi, where she found a safe home. Unfortunately, in Africa, people with albinism still face prejudice and danger. Cases of hunting albinos due to superstitions remain a serious issue. That’s why it’s crucial for Anna Maria to grow up in a place that ensures her safety and full acceptance.
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.
