Emmanuel has been part of the Kasisi family almost since birth. At that time, his mother was unable to take care of him or his older brother, so the boys came under our wing. It was here that Emmanuel took his first steps, learned about the world, and experienced a childhood full of care, joy, as well as the ups and downs of teenage years. Today, he lives with his mother again, as she has regained stability and is now able to be with her children. Emmanuel is happy, and we continue to walk alongside him — we cover his school fees and support him through the “Adoptions from the Heart” program, so that he doesn’t have to give up on his dreams.
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.
