When the boy was a little over a year old, he was abandoned on the streets of Lusaka. From the very beginning, his life has been marked by suffering and difficulties—he is blind, paralyzed, and deaf. To give him a chance at a better life, a comprehensive program of professional physiotherapy is essential. The sisters who care for him regularly take him to Lusaka for exercises. Despite their efforts and dedication, the therapies so far have not yielded significant results. Each trip to the capital is a tremendous effort for him but also a beacon of hope for a better tomorrow.
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.
