Chikondi, a cheerful 12-year-old, loved school and dancing. Her only pair of shoes
became painful and unwearable. She started missing school because walking hurt her
feet. Her parents couldn’t afford new shoes or basic supplies. Over time, her once joyful
spirit began to fade. CARELA Foundation visited her community and helped her. She
received new shoes, a school bag, and learning materials. Chikondi returned to school
and danced with happiness again. Her love for school and learning grew stronger.
CARELA helped her rediscover happiness and her future.
