Apart from his child and the wife, the father also takes care of his old grandparents. The family lives in a mud house which belongs to them. They get water from the lake, use firewood and charcoal for cooking, and kerosane lamp and small sollar panel for lighting. Rachael likes playing with her friends a lot. In 2026 she should attend 7th class of primary school in Community centre Island of Hope and she would need support of CZK 700 / 30 EUR per month (i.e. CZK 8 400 / 360 EUR 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 3 500 children. School fees at primary school are CZK 8,400 (€ 360) / year, and at secondary school, college and orphanage are CZK 18,000 (€ 750). The payment can also be broken down into multiple instalments.
