My Name is
Donatha
Donatha
Donatha’s life began in difficulty. Because Donatha's mother died when she was young, and her father abandoned her shortly after, she has never known her parents. Donatha’s grandmother cared for her along with four other orphaned children and was struggling to care for them all due to her own health issues. She has asked for help in caring for Donatha. Donatha arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2008. Donatha is now a terrific speller, and she has competed at the national level. She has learned to trust God in everything and know that His plans are always for her good. As she waits upon the Lord, her faith and patience are strengthened.
