Hassan was born in 2018 and has a younger sibling Lian (2021). Their mother is still a student, so they are taken care of by their grandmother. She sells fish and has her own children to take care of. The income that she makes from selling fish is not enough to pay for the needs of all the children and send them to school. The family’s net income is 6,200 KSH (62 EUR). There are 10 dependents living in their mud home that has two rooms. For cooking they use firewood and charcoal and retrieve their water from the lake. For lighting they have solar power lighting. Some of Hassan’s hobbies includes playing football. Hassan has developed a problem with his left ear, he can't hear well and needs to see an ear specialist. So it would help him a lot if he would be included in our medical cover program as well. In 2024, Hassan should attend kindergarden at Island of Hope’s school. His adoption costs are 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term (7.200 CZK/ 300 EUR per year).
