Christine
Christine was found abandoned as a baby and was admitted into a babies’ home in 2004. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda the following year. Christine enjoyed learning at the Rafiki School, especially when she studied science. She graduated from the school in 2020 and is now enjoying training in hotel and institutional catering. Christine’s dream is to open her own bakery where she would make delicious desserts, teach others how to prepare healthy meals, and show all who enter the love of Christ.
