Description of the situation: Jackquen is the second born in the family of five children. She has older sister Jana Kakoro (1997) and 3 younger sisters Jana Tatiana (2006), Patience Elvinnah (2009), Peace Ephrahim (2012). The father is a teacher while the mother is a house wife. The income the father gets is very little and cannot support the children in their education and also to provide other basic needs in life to the family. They have around 10.000 KES/month. Apart from Jackquen and the siblings, they also live with their niece who is the child to their sister Janna. The family is doing well except Janna who suffers from sickle cell anemia and Patience who has mental problems. The family lives in a three room’s mud house that belongs to them. They use Firewood/Charcoal for cooking, Kerosene lamp for lighting and they get water from a lake. Jackquen hobbies are dancing, playing volleyball, singing, touring and modeling. In school she likes History, Kiswahili and English. Jackquen would like to be a modeler and air hostess once she finished her education. Jackquen is doing well at present except of the occasional malaria. In 2018 she is already in form 3 at Island of Hope-Humanist Mixed Boarding Sec.School. In the previous years her family try hard to pay the school fees by themselves but it started to be impossible for them. That is why we decided to put her into our program that she does not have to leave the school. She needs support of 5600 CZK/220 EUR per term.

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.
