Nacia came to Kasisi in the first days of November 2019. It was a time full of emotions and challenges, both for her and for us. When she arrived, it was immediately clear that she was in very poor condition. She was extremely neglected and malnourished. Her mother was also in a very difficult situation – due to serious health problems, she was hospitalized and unable to care for her daughter. From the moment Nacia crossed our threshold, we surrounded her with care. She received clean, fragrant clothes and a warm, nutritious meal, which was the first step towards improving her health. Day by day, her physical and mental condition improved, and a smile appeared more and more often on her face. This place became a new beginning for her, a place where she could regain her childhood and the joy of life.
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.
