Description of the situation: Vincent is the third born in the family of five children (siblings Alphonce born. 2011, Harnest 2015, Masline born 2016, Melvin born 2008 and Melda 2009). Both the parents died leaving the children with their old and sickling grandfather who does peasant farming and the income he gets is little to feed and also provide for the basic needs in life to the family (4,700 KES per month - about 47 Eur). The family (which has 10 members altogether) lives in their own 3-roomed mud house. They get water from the lake, uses firewood for cooking and kerosene lamp or energy from little solar panel for lighting. Vincent is doing health wise well at the moment.
