Diane
Diane
Diane’s parents died of an illness. Before that, her family was living in a refugee camp in Tanzania. 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 arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in February 2014. Diane is a pleasant young woman who loves to laugh. Through the Rafiki Bible Study, Diane has learned about the power of prayer and how we should always turn to the Lord in prayer for help. Due to developments in Rwanda, Diane is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting her through a full scholarship and two meals a day.
