Dativa
Dativa
Dativa’s mother died of AIDs and her father is unknown to the family. Before her mother died she gave birth to her half-sister Mutoni by another man. Both of these girls have been living with their elderly grandmother, Makurata, whose home is near a swamp. She has asked social welfare for help in taking care of her two granddaughters. Both girls were approved and arrived at their new home at the Rafiki Village Rwanda. Their grandmother is overjoyed that her granddaughters will have a stable home environment and the opportunity to attend school.
