Eliya

Eliya
Eliya and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2010. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Eliya knows that God has a plan for him. He is increasingly grateful to be at Rafiki, and he realizes what a blessing it is. From studying the book of Romans in the Rafiki Bible Study, Eliya has learned that we must walk in a manner worthy of God by doing our best for Him. Eliya is a boarding student at the Rafiki Village Rwanda.
