The baby boy was brought to Kasisi during the Covid 19 pandemic. Kasisi, despite being closed for safety reasons, opened its doors to receive the child in need. Chola was brought from a village 800 km away. The boy had lost his mother in tragic circumstances. The woman did not survive an encounter with a crocodile, and because she was breastfeeding the boy, Chola quickly fell ill with malnutrition. When we admitted him to Kasisi he weighed only 6,5 kg. With special feeding we were able to nurse the boy out of malnutrition and strengthen his very weak body.
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.
