The girl’s mother brought her to Kasisi, claiming that her daughter was HIV-positive. After thorough testing, it was found that she’s healthy and free of the virus. Rebecca is cheerful, though she is not very active within her group of peers. However, in the company of those she trusts the most, she becomes lively and energetic. Recently, Rebecca’s mother returned to Kasisi in an even more challenging life situation. She has four other children to support and faces enormous problems. Although she cannot provide Rebecca with a stable home, she regularly receives food assistance from Kasisi to help her through these difficult times. The Sisters make every effort to ensure that Rebecca and her siblings receive the necessary help and support, hoping that the future will bring better days for them.
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.
