My Name is
Alex

Alex
Alex and his sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Due to developments in Rwanda, Alex is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting him through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Alex reads his Bible daily and spends time talking with God. From studying the book of Romans at Rafiki, Alex has learned that no one is righteous. He knows he needs a Savior. He strives to continue growing and being sanctified. Alex is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
