City, quarter: Hamisi

State: Kenya

Mother: Sharon Nanjala Wekesa, birth 1990, housewife

Father: Humfrey Agumi Amata, birth 1987, casual work

Description of the situation: Melvin is first born in the family. She has brothers Stanley (2013), Collins (2015) and sister Sheilah (2017). Mother is a housewife and father has only some casual works. Their income is only around 4.000 KES/ 40 EUR per month. Melvin now lives with her aunt because her mother went to look for a job in a different place. The family lives in three semi - permanent rooms which are rented. They use fire wood for cooking, kerosene lamp for lighting and they get water from the river. Melvin has asthmatic problems. In 2018 she is already in class 2 at Primary School. She is in need since income of her parents is low to cater school materials and even the food in the school. That is why we decided to put her into our programme that she could get the opportunity to go regularly to the school. Melvin needs support of 2.400 CZK/100 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.
