Description of the situation: Brighton is the second born in the family of two children (sibling Christine, born 2007). Father who was the sole breadwinner died leaving them with their mother who later on disappeared. Because of this Brighton was taken by his aunt. The aunt lost her job as an instructor in a driving school because of her poor health. The Aunt also has her own children to feed and take to school. The living condition of the family is very bad and therefore Brighton was taken to orphanage in our community centre Island of Hope in January 2020. He likes mathematics, religion, science and kiswahili. He would like to be a teacher at the end of his studies. Brighton also likes playing football. In 2024, he should be attending class 8 at Island of Hope Humanist Primary school. He needs a support of 1.400 CZK/55 EUR/month (16.800 CZK/660 EUR/year). .

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.

Adoption Friend Club forms an integral part of this project, and enables to support education of Kenyan children by one-time contribution anytime during the year.
