Description of the situation: Cran Gift was born in 2008 and he is the only child. His father died when he was young and his mother has occasional jobs, sometimes working as a prostitute as well. Therefore it is impossible for her to take care of Gift and to give him some moral basics, her net income is about 1.200 Ksh (12 EUR) a month. The family lives in a one roomed semi-permanent house, they use electricity for lighting, get water from the tap and use charcoal for cooking. Gift is healthy except for occasional malaria. He likes playing football and soccer. In school he prefers Science and English and in the future he would like to be a doctor. In 2021 he will start to attend class 6 and he will also join the orphanage in our community centre Island of Hope. His adoption costs 5.600 CZK/ 220 EUR per school term (the amount covers school fees, accommodation, food and governess in an orphanage as well).

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.

Section of detailed information provides an overview of how this projects works. In case you have already chosen a child from our database, you can also find here all the steps to be taken in order to adopt a child remotely.

You can also provide the adoptive children by health insurance, that covers any medical treatment the child needs during 1 year.
