Charles Mapalo 8 y/o

16
Birthday: 02.06.2016
With Kasisi since: 12.06.2017

Before coming to Kasisi, he lived on the streets of Lusaka with his ill mother. The boy never had a home, a bed of his own, or even a single toy. His mother abandoned him at a market stall in Lusaka and disappeared. The concerned shopkeeper took the boy in and cared for him at her home for several days. After realizing this might not be the best idea, she reported the situation to the police. Social workers brought the boy to Kasisi, knowing that here he would be safe and happy.

How am I doing?

OCTOBER 2024
During our last visit, Charles Mapalo eagerly asked if he had received any letters from his adoptive parents. His curiosity and hope for such messages show how much he values this connection and how important his parents are to him. This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up your pen and write to Charles, so he can feel your presence and support. Your words will surely bring him great joy, making him feel loved and appreciated. Charles is waiting with excitement for messages that will strengthen this beautiful relationship!

Passport to the Future – Donate a School Starter Kit

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.
