Clarisse
Clarisse
Clarisse arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Clarisse is now a friendly and outgoing young woman. Due to developments in Rwanda, she is currently living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting her through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Clarisse attends church regularly and reads her Bible. She has learned from studying the Bible at Rafiki that she should live a life pleasing to God, and she strives to do just that! Clarisse is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
