Father does fishing while the mother is a fish monger. The family lives in a single roomed mud rental house in a fishing village where there are lots of immoralities. The family income is too little to provide all basic needs in a life of family. They use firewood/charcoal for cooking, kerosene/solar for lighting and get water from a lake.

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.

Section of detailed information provides an overview of how this projects works. In case you have already chosen a child from our database, you can also find here all the steps to be taken in order to adopt a child remotely.

You can also provide the adoptive children by health insurance, that covers any medical treatment the child needs during 1 year.
