Diane
Diane
Diane’s parents died of an illness. The family was living in a refugee camp in Tanzania but after the death of her parents the children moved in with their grandmother. Diane’s grandmother was caring for seven children and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Diane came to her new home at Rafiki Village Rwanda in February 2014. She is a happy and shy little girl who loves to laugh. Whenever she hears singing or music of any kind, she begins to dance. 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.
