The boy came to Kasisi with his twin sister, Deborah. Both were born prematurely, each weighing only one and a half kilograms at birth. These were particularly challenging times as the children required special medical care. Their mother suffers from a severe illness that prevented her from properly caring for the newborns. Despite her best intentions and efforts, she was unable to provide the necessary support, leading to a critical state of health for the children. They were extremely neglected and malnourished. Seeing the dire situation, their aunt took the dramatic step of bringing the siblings to social services. As a result, the children found themselves at Kasisi, where they immediately received the necessary help.
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.
