Kasisi Children's Home - Lusaka

In 1926 the Dominican Sisters founded Kasisi Orphanage. Two years later they handed it over to the Little Servants of Mary Immaculate, a Polish Catholic order.

Since then, it has grown to be the largest and best known Orphanage in Zambia. In 2002 the name was changed into Kasisi Children’s Home.

At the moment, the children’s home has a separate wing for babies and younger children, a small house for older girls, a street kids house and two wings for children who are infected with HIV/AIDS, namely The House of Hope and Martin’s Room. Seven Polish Sisters, eight Zambian Sisters and about fifty Zambian Housemothers run the children’s home.

Mission
The mission of the children’s home is to provide the children with basic needs, spiritual care, love and protection, and to ensure that these children will be self-supporting once they reach adulthood.
All the children of school age go to school and after secondary school Kasisi supports them in further education or in finding a job.
