Description of the situation: Kevin comes from a polygamous family where his mother is the second wife of the father. However the other wife of the father died leaving the children with Kevin’s mother to feed and take care of. Kevin also has two siblings - Rooney Okoth Ogolla (born 2010) and Junior Otieno Ogolla (born 2014). The father is a carpenter while the mother is a house wife. The average monthly income the father gets is around Kshs. 1800 which is very little to provide all the basic needs in life to the family. There are nine dependents living from this income. The family lives in a one-room mud house which belongs to them. They get water from the lake, use firewood for cooking, and kerosene lamp and small solar panel for lighting. Kevin is doing fine health wise at present. In 2017 he would like to join a nursery in Community Center Island of Hope.

The project of remote support „Adoptions of African children“ mediates an access to education for poor Kenyan children without pulling them out of their natural environment and community. This project has been running since 2002 and has helped more than 3500 children. School fees at primary school are CZK 7200 (€300) / year, and at secondary school, college and orphanage are CZK 16800 (€660). The payment can also be broken down into multiple instalments.

Section of detailed information provides an overview of how this projects works. In case you have already chosen a child from our database, you can also find here all the steps to be taken in order to adopt a child remotely.

You can also provide the adoptive children by health insurance, that covers any medical treatment the child needs during 1 year.

Adoption Friend Club forms an integral part of this project, and enables to support education of Kenyan children by one-time contribution anytime during the year.
