Emmanuel
Emmanuel
When Emmanuel was six months old, his mother came with him to visit her cousin. After two days she left without telling anyone, abandoning Emmanuel. No one has seen or heard from the mother since that time. The father of Emmanuel is unknown. His aunt can no longer care for Emmanuel and has asked for help from Social Welfare, who contacted Rafiki Foundation. He was approved and arrived at his new home, Rafiki Village Rwanda, January 1, 2009. His health has rapidly improved, thanks to a good diet and stable home environment.
