Steven and his sister Dorcas spent their early childhood in another part of Zambia, living in a different care facility. One day, some people visited, expressing a desire to welcome them into their home permanently. For these children, it promised new hope and the possibility of finding love. Unfortunately, that dream quickly faded when the new family could not accept Dorcas and Steven. As a result, they ended up at Kasisi, surrounded by care and support, but also facing yet another major change in their young lives. Initially, it was difficult, another shock to their hearts as they had to adjust to a new reality. But today, when they look back, they have smiles on their faces. Kasisi has become their true home. Finding many new friends and experiencing genuine love through the care of the Sisters has allowed them to discover how much goodness their hearts can hold. Steven is definitely the quieter twin. Both at home and at school, he has earned respect and affection, following a path of learning and development.
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.
