Description of the situation: Grace was born in 2018 and is the youngest of seven children. Her oldest siblings are Collins (2001), Vincent (2002), Brighton (2005), Austine (2007), Lenox (2009), Phoebe (2011) and Geoffrey (2015). Their father is a fisherman, and their mother sells fish for a living. The family's net income is 3,600 KSH (36 EUR), which is not enough to provide all basic needs to the family. The family of twelve lives in a small mud house with three rooms. They use firewood for cooking and receive their water from the lake. For lighting they use solar power. Some of Grace’s hobbies include athletics and running. Grace has the hopes of joining the Island of Hope’s playing group in the 2022 school year. Her adoption costs are 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term (7.200 CZK/ 300 EUR per year). Will you help her get an education she deserves?
