The girl is in Kasisi with her brothers. Caleb is older and Misheck is younger than his sister. The kids’ dad died a few years ago. The mother had nowhere else to go, so she took the children and, according to local custom, went to seek refuge with her husband’s family. However, she did not receive any support, despite asking for it in several places.
The children dropped out of school. Recently, they and their mother returned to Lusaka. The woman, knowing that she was in a no-win situation, went to the social services to ask for help. The social worker referred the siblings to us.
Santa Claus never had it easy in Kasisi 😉 Over 230 children live here. Sister Mariola has already rushed to his aid and is quietly preparing presents!
Many of us still leave a free seat at the Christmas Eve table. Let one of our children sit at it this year (at a distance, but very much for real) and invite them to the table today!
