Daniel and his twin brother ended up at Kasisi under dramatic circumstances. Their mother abandoned them at the door of their father’s apartment. She left them without support or care with a man with whom she had separated. The young father, only 24 years old, struggled with unemployment and lacked the financial means to properly care for his children. He decided to place his sons in Kasisi, seeking a better future and a chance for a better life–something that he could not provide. This difficult decision, burdened with pain and despair, is a testament to his selfless love and concern for the well-being of his children.
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.
