He came to Kasisi as a few-months-old baby, together with his newborn baby brother. Their childhood began with many uncertainties and unanswered questions — above all, the most important one: Would their mother ever come back for them?
Today, Chungu is growing into a strong, self-aware young man. He is bright, open, and incredibly curious about the world. He loves asking questions, searching for answers, and enthusiastically discovering new things.
When his mother regained stability, Chungu was able to move back in with her. However, he still receives support through the “Adoptions from the Heart” program, which gives him a chance for education, personal development, and a peaceful upbringing.
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.
