The income the family gets is very little to feed the family and to provide the basic needs in life to them. The family lives in a one-room mud house which belongs to them. They get water from the lake, use firewood or charcoal for cooking and kerosene and small solar panel for lighting. Witney is doing fine health wise except of occasional malaria that sometimes affects her. In 2017 she join a nursery in Community Center Island of Hope. Unfortunatelly she lost now her sponsor.

We are looking for a new perso who will give her money for education: 2400Kč/100Eur per term (7200 Kč/300Eur per year).
