Felix is 7 years old and has sickle cell anemia. It’s a condition that can strike unexpectedly. One day, he’s running and laughing with his friends; the next, his body suddenly refuses to cooperate. Pain, shortness of breath, weakness appear. In moments like these, quick intervention, working equipment, and access to oxygen and meds are crucial.
At Kasisi, every minute counts in such situations. That’s why electricity has never been a luxury — it has always been a matter of safety. For years, the Sisters made sure the generators never ran out of fuel, knowing that the health and lives of many children depended on it. But that vigilance came at a cost: enormous stress and huge expenses. Every month, thousands of dollars went into barrels of fuel instead of food, medical care, or education.
Today, we can finally say: that’s in the past!
Thanks to you, Kasisi is now energy independent. Solar panels have been installed on the roofs across the entire Home! ☀️
For children like Felix, this means certainty that medical equipment will never stop in a crisis. For the Sisters, it brings peace of mind — no more daily calculations of fuel levels or worry about whether tomorrow there will be enough. Instead of worrying about generators, they can devote all their attention and energy to the children. It’s also a huge financial relief: money that used to disappear on fuel now stays at Kasisi, where it can provide meals, medicine, and education.
Today, we no longer have to fear darkness or dependence on generators. Our Home now has a stable energy source that ensures safety for the sick and peace for those caring for them. This is the start of a new chapter. Thank you for being a part of it! ❤️
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.
