Description of the situation: Rihana was born in May of 2011 and has one sibling, Katka (2008). Both children were born from wedlock and their mother has been hopping from town to town looking for a job to provide for her family. The children have been left with their grandmother while their mother continues her job search. Their grandmother is a cleaner and has children of her own to provide for. Healthwise, the children are doing well, but their grandmother suffers from ulcers. The family’s net income is 10,000 Ksh (100 EUR). There are eight dependents living in a permanent home with three rooms. For cooking they use charcoal and gas and receive their water from the lake nearby. For lighting they use solar powered lights. Some of Rihana’s hobbies include reading, dancing and netball. Academically, she enjoys her social studies course and would like to become a public health officer when she grows up. In 2022, Rihana will be starting class 4 at the Island of Hope Humanist School. Her adoption costs are 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term (7.200 CZK/ 300 EUR per year). Will you help send Rihana to school this year?
