Her parents passed away when she was still very young. For many years, she was raised by her grandfather, who gave her love and a sense of security. Sadly, when he also passed away, Cristine’s life once again became uncertain. That’s when the people her grandfather had worked for decided to bring her to Kasisi. Here, she found a home and the support she needed.
Cristine has an older sister with whom she shares a close bond. Her sister takes her to her place on holidays, bringing Cristine joy and a sense of family warmth. Despite the hardships she has faced, she’s a strong and hopeful young girl who believes in a better future.
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.
