Until recently, she lived peacefully with her family. This changed, however, when someone set fire to their house. In December, after the incident, the youngest members of the family were taken to Kasisi and she and her older siblings found refuge in another orphanage. There was no school there, the kids were not being educated. We decided to do everything so that the siblings could be together and function, as much as possible, normally, without interrupting their education.
The police found the perpetrators, but unfortunately the whole family was left homeless. They lived at a bus station. Now the children are with us and the parents with the eldest daughter, fearing for their lives, are living at the police station.
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?
