Child from Island of Hope
Sharon Shania Akinyi has been in adoption programme since year 2022 and she goes to school Island of Hope Humanist School.
City, quarter: Kamasengre west Gumba
State: Kenya
Mother: Janet Achieng Omalla, birth 2003, student
Description of the situation: Sharon was born in 2018 and is the only child. She was born out of wedlock. Her father is a fisherman, and her mother is a student. Due to this, Sharon and her mother live with her grandfather who is also a fisherman. The family’s net income is 6,000 KSH (60 EUR) per month, but unfortunately it is not sufficient to cover all costs. They use firewood and charcoal for cooking and get their water from the lake. For lighting around the home, they use solar powered lights and kerosene lamps. One of Sharon’s favourite activities is swimming. Sharon’s mother has the hopes that her daughter will be 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).

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.
