Description of the situation: The mother died when he was 9 months and the father died when he was 1 year old. She has one older sister and after the death of the parents, they were adopted by the grandparents who have been taking care of them. The grandmother does any casual job available in the village and the grandfather does not have a job. The grandparents also have their own three children that they are taking care of. They all stay together in a three roomed mud house. The net income of the family is averagely kshs.1000 per month. They have a small land that they use to grow vegetables.They use firewood for cookingd, kerosene for lighting and they take water from well. Reuben in 2024 enters the 8th grade of primary school. Unfortunately, he has now lost his adoptive parents and would greatly need support in the form of school fees, which amount to CZK 2400/€100 per trimester (i.e. CZK 7200/€300 per year).

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.
