My Name is
Chipo
Chipo
Chipo’s parent’s died in a tragic bus accident. Her mother was pregnant with Chipo at the time of the bus accident and she lived just long enough to deliver Chipo. The mother’s single sister cared for Chipo and her brother John. She was not employed, but survived on piece work and was thrilled that John and Chipo could have a permanent home at the Rafiki Village Zambia. They arrived in September 2014. Chipo is now in the 1st grade. Chipo believes Jesus is the Son of God and He died for her on the cross. She knows God gave us His words in the Bible and they tell her that Jesus loves her. She listens as her mother and cottage sisters read the Bible. Sometimes Chipo will pray alone, but mostly she prays with her Rafiki mother and sisters. When she prays, she thanks God for making her and for bringing her to Rafiki, and she tells Him that He means everything to her. God has answered her prayers by giving her life, health, school, and everything she needs.
