Description of the situation: Steve Ben was born in 2019 and has one older sibling, Alicia (2015). Their father is a fisherman, and their mother is a housewife. This family of four also lives with their widowed grandmother and uncle. The family of six lives in a mud house that only has two rooms. The family’s net income is 4,500 KSH (45 EUR) per month, but it is not enough to provide all the basic needs and school fees for the family. They use firewood and charcoal for cooking and get their water from the lake. For lighting around the home, they use solar powered lights. Steve hopes to join the Island of Hope’s playing group in the 2022 school year. His adoption costs are 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term (7.200 CZK/ 300 EUR per year). Will you help Steve’s family send him to school?

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.
