Boy, 11 years

Not adopted

Child from Island of Hope

City, quarter: Gembe eat Rambem-Ka’Nyasuna

State: Kenya

Father: Dead

Guardian: Mary Atieno Odhiambo, birth 1971, farmer

Description of the situation: Stephens father died and his mother run away. The boy therefore lives with his grandmother who is a peasant farmer and she also takes care about other four grandchildren. The family income is very little from the farming. However, the family's situation is very challenging and that is why we have decided to place the boy in our orphanage in the community centre Island of Hope where he should start class 5 at primary school in January 2024. He needs a support of 1.400 CZK/55 EUR/month (16.800 CZK/660 EUR/year). He would like to become a teacher.

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.
