Where Casita began

Real impact doesn’t need abundance, only a heart willing to give.

Isaac grew up in hardship. From a young age he worked on his father’s sugarcane plantation and in local fields to help pay for food and school fees.
His life changed because of his cousin, Casita. She was an orphan, taken in by Isaac’s father when her late parents’ children were shared among relatives. She had very little, yet she always put others first. One day she came home from school without the new socks she had been given four days earlier. She had given them to a classmate who had none, and kept her own worn-out pair.
That small act moved the whole family. It showed Isaac that real impact doesn’t need abundance, only a heart willing to give. Seeing how many vulnerable children across Africa need shelter, support and hope, he set out to build a lasting place of care. Casita Orphans Support Foundation carries her name, and her example of love, hard work and compassion.
