He began his life in very difficult circumstances. He was abandoned on the street. No one knows what happened before or how long he had to wait before someone noticed him. Sometimes stories like this hide tragedies we may never learn about—poverty, illness, helplessness. Regardless of the reasons, one thing is certain: no child should grow up without love and care.
Today, Francis is safe. He has come to Kasisi, a place where children find peace again. Here, he is no longer alone. There are people who care for him, who hold him close, and who show him every day that his life has great value. At Kasisi, we’re creating a new beginning for him—and we believe he has a beautiful life ahead.
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.
