Blessing Mapalo 3 y/o

75
Birthday: 03.08.2021
With Kasisi since: 11.11.2021

Blessing was only three months old when her father brought her to Kasisi. She is blind. At home, she has five siblings, two of whom are also blind. Sometimes, it seems like there should be a limit to how much suffering one family can endure, but hearing their story reveals that hardship has struck this family threefold. Blessing’s mother suffered from cancer for a long time before passing away. In such a challenging family situation, her father could no longer provide the special care his daughter needed. Bringing her to Kasisi was the right decision. We know that, thanks to our sisters and your support, she will never lack anything, especially love.

How am I doing?

OCTOBER 2024
Blessing Mapalo has become an incredibly social and joyful child. Although she cannot see, it doesn’t stop her from carefree play on the Kasisi playground, where she happily runs and plays with the other children. She loves building with blocks, carefully crafting her little structures with remarkable precision, as her sense of touch seems to compensate for her lack of sight. Blessing also has a special gift for forming bonds—she loves to snuggle into the arms of volunteers and Sisters with pure joy.
APRIL 2024
Blessing is now experiencing issues with her healthy eye. She remains under the care of specialists who are conducting various tests to provide an accurate diagnosis. She urgently needs your support.
FEBRUARY 2024
This month, we’re taking Blessing for an eye examination using specialized equipment. This visit will determine whether the corneal scar is operable. If so, she will undergo plastic surgery in the near future. The procedure will not restore her vision in that eye; it will be conducted solely for cosmetic reasons.
JULY 2023
Although he can't see out of one eye, he's doing great. He is a Kasisi boss. In a few years' time, he will undergo surgery on his other eye, which will involve removing the vitreous body from the eye. However, this will only be an operation to improve his appearance.
JANUARY 2023

The operation that Blessing underwent in June was successful. The girl can see out of one eye, is doing great and is bossing everyone around as much as she can. She is very fond of sound toys. She is cheerful and has a lot of confidence. We have no doubt that she will cope in life. When her dad visited her, he was very touched that his child could see.

JUNE 2022
Blessing Mapalo has had eye surgery! When we admitted the girl to Kasisi,it was known that she had a congenital eye problem, but the sisters did not see this as the end of the matter. They kept digging, looking for the causes of the problem to find out if there was anything we could do for the child. In addition, they noticed that Mapalo's eyes were responsive and her right eye was focusing. They quickly got in touch with a specialist in Lusaka, who ordered a number of tests and declared that he was taking on the surgery! Everything went according to plan and little Mapalo is now resting at home.
DECEMBER 2021
Blessing is growing nicely. She has already got used to all the residents of Kasisi. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to restore her sight. The girl's mother was discharged from the oncology ward and Sister Mariola found her a place in the hospice. We are paying for everything and providing her with all the things she needs.

Passport to the Future – Donate a School Starter Kit

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.
