Description of the situation: Mishel lives with the grandmother after the father died in 2004 and the mother went to Nairobi to search for a better job. The mother sends money to the grandmother to assist with the basic needs of the family of Mishel and other siblings. The grandmother is old but she does small-scale busineses with an income of 3500 Ksh per month (about 875 CZK/35 EUR). The family live in a mud house, they use firewood for cooking, kerosene lamp for lighting and fetch water form the lake. Mishel is of good health. In 2022 she lost her adoptive parent, therefore we are looking for a new one in order to support her in her studies at secondary school. In 2023 she is in 3rd year. Her adoption costs 220 EUR/ 5.600 CZK per term.
