What might such a tiny child feel, after being abandoned on one of the busy streets of Lusaka? Left behind by those who should love him the most, he came to our home with a heart full of pain and uncertainty. There was no joyful welcome to the world, no carefully prepared nursery.
Since Malumbo came to us, we assure him of our love every day. We will do everything to make up for the terrible beginning of his life. He will never be alone again – he has become part of a big family that will always be there for him, ready to support and love him.
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.
