Joshua came to Kasisi when he was just one day old. His mother is ill. She was admitted to hospital when she was still pregnant. There she gave birth and stayed for another six months, having to undergo surgery. She and Sister Mariola met when Christopher Sakala was admitted to the oncology ward. After his death, we decided to start a fund in his name. She was among the many oncology patients we started supporting through the fund. The woman is in a very difficult situation, she is homeless and very ill. We will continue to help her and make sure that she doesn’t need to worry about her son.
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.
