Donatha arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2008. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Donatha is now a terrific speller, and she has competed at the national level. She has learned to trust God in everything and knows that His plans are always for her good. As she waits upon the Lord, her faith and patience are strengthened. Donatha is a graduate of the Rafiki School and now studies law at university. She prays that one day she can serve by legally representing, defending, and protecting vulnerable children.
