Adoption - George Otieno Owino

Back
Child number: 52591
Boy, 13 years
Not adopted
Child from Island of Hope
City, quarter: Rusinga Island Ufira
State: Kenya
Mother: Marren Atieno Owino, birth 1995, house wife
Father: Daniel Owino Okeyo, birth 1975, fishing
Description of the situation: George is the eighth born in the family of nine children. The father does fishing while the mother is a house wife. However, the average monthly income the family gets (around Kshs.2300) is very little to provide the basic life needs to the whole family and to pay shool fees for the children. The family lives in a three-room mud house which belongs to them. They use firewood for cooking, kerosene and small solar panel for lighting and they get water from the lake. George is doing well health wise at present. In 2026 he is in the 7th grade in Community Center Island of Hope.

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.
