Maimbo is a premature baby, born in the sixth month of pregnancy. When he came to Kasisi, he was just a few days old—so fragile and delicate that he required special care. We do everything we can to surround him with love and provide the best possible support. His 19-year-old mother is unable to care for him due to a serious illness. Although his father has good intentions, he can’t manage caring for a premature baby by himself. That’s why Maimbo has found his new home at Kasisi, a place where every child receives the love, care, and opportunity for healthy development they deserve.
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.
