Administering electrolytes to the children is a daily routine at Kasisi. They are essential for the body’s proper functioning, particularly for the nervous and muscular systems. Dehydration is a common problem in Africa, and it causes a loss of electrolytes. They are also crucial during cholera outbreaks, which unfortunately occur quite frequently in African countries. We prefer to prevent rather than cure.
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.
