My Name is
Kilonzi
Kilonzi
Kilonzi arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya with his older brother Mumo in 2006. Before that, he was placed in an orphanage for babies in Nairobi. His elderly grandparent took him there, overwhelmed and unable to provide food and clothing for him and six other children. Upon arriving at the Rafiki Village, Kilonzi and his brother were greeted by their Rafiki Mother Faith and several cottage siblings. Kilonzi is hard-working and shows interest in science and Kiswahili, a traditional language. He also loves playing sports. He cooperates in group discussions and remains focused in his individual responsibilities. Kilonzi says that the Bible is encouraging him every day and teaching him how to live.
