Brino
Brino
Brino and his brother Kenny’s mother died of an illness and the father of the two boys is unknown. Their elderly grandmother cared for them for three years but struggled to provide for them and the four other children in her home. She was a poor farmer with no steady income. The boys were not in school and their grandmother was concerned for their future; she contacted Rafiki for help. They arrived at Rafiki Village Rwanda in February 2014; their grandmother was overjoyed.
