Orphan Care

 Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world. -Neslon Mandela

The Inspiration

SHAHICA’s orphan program started with a little girl named Kaissa. Kaissa was 9 years old when our team of medical providers saw her, during our 2006 outreach to Foumban. She had been suffering from chronic illnesses since birth. After a medical assessment Kaissa was offered an HIV test and was found to be positive.

Kaissa’s parents died when she was a toddler leaving her under the care of her grandmother, who struggles to care for her medically and financially.The team felt compelled to sponsor Kaissa's school fees and to link her to HIV treatment. 




Left Kaissa in Nov. 2006 Right Kaissa in Jan. 2

Can other types of donations be made?
