City, quarter: Kamasengre West Ufira
State: Kenya
Mother: Sarah Achieng Okianga, birth 1984, sells fish
Description of the situation: Brigit was born in 2017 as the last born in the family of four children, she has siblings Joseph (2001), Dancun (2004) and Wendy (2013). The father who was the only family breadwinner died leaving the mother to provide the basic needs in life to the family. Apart from Brigit and the siblings they also live with two other children who are orphans. The mother sells fish, but it is very difficult for her to take care of all the children, net family income is just 2.500 Ksh (25 EUR) per month. The family lives in a three roomed mud house, which belongs to them. They use kerosene lamps for lighting, get water from the lake and use firewood/ charcoal for cooking. The family is doing well health wise except Brigit’s brother Joseph who suffers from ulcers. Brigit really likes netball and moulding. Due to the low income that the mother earns it is hard to meet basic needs and also to pay school fees for the children. That is why we decided to put Brigit into our program so that she can go to school. In 2021 she is attending kindergarten. Her adoption costs 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term. On June 13, 2022, she received the Baptist baptism and thus also adopted the new name Victorine Atieno.Name changed in admin on 6/23/2022

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.
