Sekayi stayed in a hospice with her mother. After her mother’s death, her sisters, concerned for her well-being, decided to move her to Kasisi, where she received specialized care and support. She never knew her father, but she found a new home among the caregivers and other children. Mild cerebral palsy makes walking difficult for her, requiring regular physiotherapy. However, accepting this is not easy for such an energetic and independent spirit. Her rebellious nature often shows, especially when faced with the monotonous therapeutic exercises. One of the biggest challenges in caring for Sekayi is her aversion to criticism. While she can be motivated to work, it requires a particularly gentle approach. It is important that any feedback and corrections are delivered subtly to avoid discouraging her from further progress.
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.
