Reuben is at Kasisi along with his twin sister Ruth and their older sister Dorcas. Their lives were complicated by the tragic death of their father, which plunged their mother into a deep nervous breakdown. Struggling with her own emotions and unable to cope with the daily responsibilities of caring for her children, their mother decided to seek help from us. Although her heart longs for her children, she still battles her own demons. Reuben still needs tender care and loves being carried by anyone who visits him. Despite the hardships they’ve endured, Reuben and his sisters remain hopeful for the day their mother regains emotional stability and is ready to embrace them once again.
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.
