When Kalimu came to Kasisi, he was just three years old. He was an abandoned child, found on the streets. We knew nothing about him. Every day, we worked to rebuild his identity, discovering who he is and what brings him joy. Today, Kalimu has grown into a wonderful young man, full of enthusiasm for growth and finding his own path. His greatest passion is drawing—he finds true happiness in art. Everyone who recognizes his talent brings him immense joy and motivates him to keep working hard.
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.
