The girl is blind. She came to Kasisi because her mother is dying of cancer, which is in its last stage. Her father has to take care of his sick wife and five other children, two of whom, like Blessing, are also blind.
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.

The metal cots and worn-out mattresses have lulled generations of Kasisi kids to sleep, but are now in desperate need of replacement.
Our dream is to make the babies’ bedrooms look like a truly homely, safe environment that is associated with warmth. Will you help us make this dream a reality?
