She is at Kasisi together with her younger sister, Asenati Chabu. They came to us because their father, after the death of his wife, struggled with the responsibility of raising his children. He works as a guard and must be on duty every night, making it impossible for him to fulfill the role of a caregiver. Their teenage sister had to drop out of school to take care of Bupe and Asenati. Thanks to the girls living with us, their sister was able to return to school.
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.
