Gertrude is at Kasisi with her four siblings. Her father, an alcoholic and drug addict, abandoned the family. Their mother was left without any means to survive and was not able to care for five children on her own. She visits her children every Saturday, however, and makes sure to talk and play with them as much as possible during her visits. The children are very close. Gertrude is protective over her younger siblings and spends all her free time with them. Kasisi gave the children a chance for healthy development. Gertrude and Peter have started attending school. They love to study.
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.
