My Name is
Leah
Leah
Leah has been an orphan since 2003. Leah and her younger brother, Elijah, went to live with a distant relative who had four children of his own to care for. Unable to support the children, the extended family released Leah and her brother to the care of the Rafiki Village Nigeria; they arrived at the Village in 2004. Leah is strengthened by God's promise to never leave nor forsake His people. She is learning to trust in the Lord more and more each day, and she wants to glorify God in whatever she does.
