Dadi
Dadi
Both of Dadi’s parents died in 2005. Dadi’s uncle brought him to Dadi’s grandmother when his mother died. His grandmother has struggled to care for him and was unable to continue. Dadi was approved by Social Welfare and now has a new home at the Rafiki Village Rwanda since May 2009 where he is rapidly transforming, thanks to a good diet, good hygiene, and a loving family environment. Dadi’s friend, Epa, came to live at Rafiki in January. The boys were very happy to be reunited. They live in the same Rafiki Cottage.
