John’s mother passed away shortly after giving birth, leaving his father in deep grief. Faced with such an overwhelming loss and the responsibility of caring for a newborn, his father felt completely lost and overwhelmed by the situation. Unable to take care of little John on his own, he reached out to us for support. He promised that after a few months, once he manages to put his life back in order and regain some stability, he will take on the responsibility of raising his son. Until then, he asked us to provide John with care and protection. We have been doing just that since John’s first moments at Kasisi.
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.
