Description of the situation: The boy's parents separated when the mum was pregnant. When the boy was 3 months old his mother died and was left under care of the grandmother who was a drunk and was neglecting him. When the father heard about this he went and picked the boy.The father has no permanent job and he struggles to provide for basic needs. The boy goes to the neighbors to borrow food as he sleeps hungry most times. He is barely in school because of lack of school fees. The boy is living in a poor housing he covers himself with a sack and sleeps on the floor. The father earns KSH 5,000 a month doing occasional jobs. They live in a rented temporary house. They live three in one room. They cook on a kerosene stove, light a candle, and take water from a well. The boy likes to play with other children, he also likes to play football. He likes Home Science and Kiswahili.Considering the conditions in which the boy lives, we want to place him in our orphanage, which we have at our school on Rusinga Island. The boy needs the full amount for adoption, i.e. CZK 16,800, (660 EUR) per year.
