Deborah
Deborah
Deborah’s parents were living in Uganda when they both died from an illness. Deborah and her sister Jane were then brought to Rwanda. The girls' grandmother had ten other orphans living with her and requested for Rafiki to provide for Deborah, Jane, and their cousin, Sandra. The girls arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in November 2012. 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.
