The girl came to us under dramatic circumstances. The woman who gave birth to her was not yet ready to take on the responsibilities of motherhood. Unfortunately, the girl’s father also failed to meet his obligations, disappearing without a trace and leaving the family without support. The neighbors, concerned about this situation, noticed that the children were regularly left unattended. Their concern for the health and safety of the youngest ones prompted them to take action. Fearing that further neglect could lead to tragic consequences, they decided to inform the appropriate authorities. Upon receiving the report, the police responded immediately and intervened. As a result, Mwangala and her siblings were brought to Kasisi, where they can count on safe haven and care.
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.
