She comes from a polygamous family where her mother is the first wife of the father. In the other house, there are three children. The father does fishing while the mother sells vegetables along the roadside. The income the family gets is little to provide the basic needs in life to the family (2,400 KES - about 24 EUR). The family lives in a mud house which belongs them and has 4 rooms. They take water from the lake and cook on fire using charcoal). They use koresene lamp for the lighting. Hellen is doing well at the moment except the occasional malaria. She likes athletics and netball. She also likes helping in the household: cooking, cleaning the plates and fetching water/firewood. She will start attending the nursery school in our school Island of Hope Humanist School since January 2019. The adoption is for 2,400 Czk/100 Eur per term.
