Maria arrived at Kasisi just three days after her birth. She was a premature baby, which made her start in life even more challenging. She has a grandmother who visits her regularly. Her grandmother loves her deeply and wishes to take her home. Unfortunately, her life situation doesn’t allow for this dream to come true. She is taking care of her sick daughter, Maria’s mother, who requires constant support and treatment. Despite these difficulties, every visit with her granddaughter is a moment filled with emotions and hope that one day their situation will improve, and they can be together permanently.
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.
