Deborah
Deborah and her sister and cousin arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. The girls soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Due to the Rwandan government's initiative to reunite children with relatives, Deborah no longer lives in the Village and is a day student at the Rafiki School. Rafiki continues to fund her full school scholarship and daily meals. Deborah is a gentle girl who loves others well.
