Maria came to Kasisi together with her twin brother Joseph. The children were born in September 2022. Nothing heralded that the great joy in the family would be interrupted by tragedy. A few days after the birth, the babies lost their loving mother. The woman suffered a haemorrhage and died. Joseph and Maria also have a dad, but he is not able to take care of such young children, so he brought them to Kasisi. It is hoped that when the children grow up and become more independent, the dad will be able to take them in.
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.
