The baby boy was brought to Kasisi during the Covid 19 pandemic. Kasisi, despite being closed for safety reasons, opened its doors to receive the child in need. Chola was brought from a village 800 km away. The boy had lost his mother in tragic circumstances. The woman did not survive an encounter with a crocodile, and because she was breastfeeding the boy, Chola quickly fell ill with malnutrition. When we admitted him to Kasisi he weighed only 6,5 kg. With special feeding we were able to nurse the boy out of malnutrition and strengthen his very weak body.
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?
