My Name is
Clementine
Clementine
Clementine was brought to her uncle in 2009 after both parents died of sickness. The uncle and aunt are caring for five other children. During the initial visit to the home, Clementine was very dirty and ignored by the adults in the home. Clementine has a new home at the Rafiki Village in Rwanda. Clementine arrived malnourished but this will quickly change thanks to a good diet, good hygiene, and a loving family environment. Due to developments in Rwanda, this child is living off-site from the Village. We are however still supporting them through a full scholarship and two meals daily.
