Githinji is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Githinji has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Kisumu Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Githinji could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $490
• Filing and biometrics fees: $95
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
