Description of the situation: Andrew is the first born in the family of two children, the father who was the only family breadwinner died leaving the children with their mother who completely does nothing and just survives from the hands of well-wishers for her daily bread. The children were then taken by their old grandmother who also survives through the help of her children. Apart from Andrew and the sister Ann Angel, the grandmother also lives/stays with three children who their mother separated with the father because the father could not manage to take good care of them. There are six dependents in the house. The house has four rooms. They get water from the well, use firewood for cooking and kerosene lamp/solar for lighting. Andrew is doing well health wise at present. Due to the family situation the child was placed in the orphanage "Island of Hope" on the Rusinga Island, where this child should find new home and start going to school. (Adoption of this child is increased by the amount of 16.800 CZK/660 EUR per year to cover the cost of the study, accommodation, food and governess in the orphanage.)

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.
