Description of the situation: Mother of Joan is a single parent, she only does casual work in order to earn for a living. Because the mother keeps on moving from place to place, Joan was taken by aunt who is a house wife and has her four own children to care for. The income the aunt gets is little to provide for the basic needs in life of the family. They live in two roomed mud house which is rental. They use Firewood/Charcoal for cooking, Kerosene/Solar for lighting and they get water from a lake. Joan likes playing with dolls. In January 2025 she should join a kindergarten at Island of Hope Humanist School. She needs a support with an amount of 8400 CZK/360 EUR per year (700 CZK/30 EUR per month).

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 3 500 children. School fees at primary school are CZK 8,400 (€ 360) / year, and at secondary school, college and orphanage are CZK 18,000 (€ 750). The payment can also be broken down into multiple instalments.
