The boy was brought to Kasisi by his mother, who, due to difficult life circumstances and lack of support, was unable to raise him. It was a painful but necessary decision to ensure her son would receive good care and have a chance at a better life. When he came to Kasisi, his health raised serious concerns. He was extremely neglected, requiring immediate and intensive medical intervention. Doctors diagnosed him with partial paralysis of the esophagus, which made eating very difficult for him. Since his arrival at Kasisi, the boy has been undergoing regular rehabilitation to improve his health.
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.
