Philip was abandoned one night on a street in Lusaka. When he came under our care, he was in a very poor state—suffering from tuberculosis and severe malnutrition, which had led to starvation sickness. His health required immediate and intensive medical attention. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our doctors, we are now happy to say that Philip is a healthy and smiling child. He is undoubtedly one of the most communicative and sociable people at Kasisi. He is also a talented artist. His artistic abilities continue to develop, and he spends many hours painting and drawing. When Philip is not engrossed in his artistic passion, you can find him on the field, energetically and passionately playing soccer.
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.
