Rachel was brought to Kasisi by her father, who was deeply concerned about her health. The girl was suffering from severe malnutrition, which required constant and intensive medical care. Despite her young age, Rachel showed immense courage and self-discipline in her battle with the illness. The initial period at Kasisi was difficult for Rachel. She was sad and withdrawn, struggling to adjust to her new environment. However, over time, thanks to the caring support of her guardians and other children, Rachel gradually regained her joy for life and self-confidence. She was increasingly more often seen smiling and participating in various activities. Rachel has a talent for drawing, which has become her way of expressing herself and her emotions. Some time ago, a particularly touching moment occurred in Rachel’s life. Her brother, who lives in another orphanage, came to visit her. The reunion was emotional for both the children and the Sisters. Although everyone had good intentions and hoped that the siblings would form a close bond, it turned out to be more challenging than expected. Both had difficulties finding common ground, likely due to their long separation and different life experiences. Nevertheless, the meeting was an important step in their relationship and gave hope for rebuilding family ties in the future.
The metal cots and worn-out mattresses have lulled generations of Kasisi kids to sleep, but are now in desperate need of replacement.
Our dream is to make the babies’ bedrooms look like a truly homely, safe environment that is associated with warmth. Will you help us make this dream a reality?
