Mother: Milicent Akoth, birth 1989, hotel attendant
Description of the situation: Maurice lives with his single mother and siblings Sandra (2008), Stecy (2010) and Lawrence (2012). The mother is hotel attendant. Family has only around 2,400 KES/24 EUR per month. The family lives in one room which is rented. They use firewood for cooking, electricity for lighting and they get water from the lake. Maurice is healthy boy. He likes playing football Due to the little income that is single mother 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 him into our program, as a result, he now attends primary school on the Island of Hope.
