Enid
When Enid’s mother and father died she went to live with her aunt. She is young and single and stuggles to care for Enid on her own. She contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Enid moved to her new home, the Rafiki Village Rwanda in November 2009. Enid loves school. She seems quite bright. She knows many songs and hymns and recites the weekly Scripture verses well.
