Description of the situation: Fidel is the first born in the family of three children. The father who was the only family breadwinner died and the mother is not able to take care of the children. Because of this, Fidel was taken by his grandparents who are very old and survives from the hands of well-wishers. The siblings Fabian Odhiambo Benard and Jerry Calmax Benard (in 2023 they are 15 and 13 years old) were taken by their Aunt who sells second hand clothes along the street in one of the slums in Nairobi. Fidel and his grandparents lived in a two roomed mud house which belongs to them. They get water from the lake, uses firewood for cooking and Kerosene lamp/Solar mall for lighting. Fidel is healthy at the moment except the occasional malaria. Due to the very difficult family situation Fidel was placed in the orphanage "Island of Hope" on the Rusinga Island, where he found new home and start going to school. In 2023 he started 2nd year of secondary school and he needs suport of 16.800 CZK/660 EUR per year to cover the cost of the study, accommodation.
