She was born with Albinism. She’s at Kasisi because her mother died shortly after giving birth and her grandparents were not able to care for a child with special needs.
Anna Maria is not the first albino child in Kasisi’s history. Fortunately, people in Zambia are not as superstitious about albinos as they are in e.g. Tanzania, so Anna Maria will have a safe upbringing. At Kasisi, she has a loving and nurturing home where all her needs will be met.
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.
