The boy came to Kasisi because his mother has a disability and uses a wheelchair. She was raising her son on her own, as his father has not been part of his life, and the entire responsibility for the boy’s care rested with her.
For a long time, she did everything she could to provide Dalitso with care and a safe home. Sadly, as her health and personal circumstances became more challenging, she no longer had the strength to care for him on her own.
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.
