Description of the situation:
Brigit was born in 2017 as the last born in the family of four children, she has siblings Joseph (2001), Dancun (2004) and Wendy (2013). The father who was the only family breadwinner died leaving the mother to provide the basic needs in life to the family. Apart from Brigit and the siblings they also live with two other children who are orphans. The mother sells fish, but it is very difficult for her to take care of all the children, net family income is just 2.500 Ksh (25 EUR) per month. The family lives in a three roomed mud house, which belongs to them. They use kerosene lamps for lighting, get water from the lake and use firewood/ charcoal for cooking. The family is doing well health wise except Brigit’s brother Joseph who suffers from ulcers. Brigit really likes netball and moulding. Due to the low income that the mother earns it is hard to meet basic needs and also to pay school fees for the children. That is why we decided to put Brigit into our program so that she can go to school. In 2021 she is attending kindergarten. Her adoption costs 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term. On June 13, 2022, she received the Baptist baptism and thus also adopted the new name Victorine Atieno.Name changed in admin on 6/23/2022
