At the end of 2023, Zambia was hit by a cholera epidemic. As a precautionary measure, kids had their holidays extended or switched to remote learning. Disinfecting gels became the most sought-after product in the country.
When our kids returned to school, we had to prepare a supply of disinfectants for each of them. Now our stockroom is empty, and we need to refill it as soon as possible. There are fewer cases now, but the epidemic still persists.
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.
