My Name is
Alinafe

Alinafe
Alinafe is a double orphan who was in the care of her elderly grandparents. They had no resources to adequately care for her and could not send her to school. After receiving a referral from social welfare, Alinafe arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2006. She soon became a wonderful helper to her Rafiki Mother, always eager to welcome new children with joy and excitement. She has continued to learn more about Jesus and His provisions through the Rafiki Bible study. Alinafe trusts Jesus because He is always present for her.
