Rholex is from the family of four children. He has sisters Velma, Belina and brother Brian. His mother is housewife and father is peasant farmer. Family income is only around 3.000 KES/ 30 EUR per month. They live in a two – room mud house which belongs to them. They use firewood for cooking and they get water from borehole. Rholex is healthy and he is doing well. He likes helping his mother to collect firewood and he loves playing with his friends. Due to the little income, it is hard to meet all basic family needs and paying school fees for all kids is a really big problem. That is why we decided to put him into our programme that he could get the opportunity to go regularly to the school. Unfortunately, he has now lost his adoptive parent and is in urgent need of support for his education. He is in his second year of secondary school, and his tuition fees are CZK 6,000 or EUR 250 per term (i.e., CZK 18,000 or EUR 750 per year).
