Description of the situation: Sharleen lives with her mother and older sister Sharon (2002), who attend Secondary School. The family is headed by single mother, who has only some casual jobs. Family income is around 5.000 KES/ 50 EUR per month. The family lives tree rooms that are rented. They use kerosene stove for cooking, paraffin lamp for lighting and they get water from the borehole. Sharleen is healthy and she is doing well. She likes playing hide and seek game and singing. In 2019 she is already in class 3 at the Primary School. Due to the little income her mother is earning, it is hard to meet basic family needs and paying school fees has become a big problem. That is why we decided to put her into our program that she does not have to leave the school. Sharleen needs support of 2.400 CZK/100 EUR per term.
