Description of the situation: Helen comes from a polygamous family where her mother is the first wife of the father. She is the fourth born in the family in the family of five children (siblings Esther, born 2000; Roseline born 2002; Emmaculate born 2004 and Sam born 2011). In their other house there are also three children meaning they are ten children in the whole family. The father does fishing while the mother sells fish, the income the family gets is very little to feed and also pay school fees to the children (4,500 KES per month). Like in their house there are three children who are in secondary school and the little they get is not enough to provide the family basic needs. The family lives in semi permantent house of their own which has three rooms. They use kerosene lamp and electricity for lighting. They cook on fire and use water from the lake. Helen is doing well at present except of the occasional malaria. The girl attends class 6 at Island of Hope Humanist School (project of Centrum Narovinu; sitaution in 2018). The adoption is for 2,400 Czk/100 Eur per term.

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.
