My Name is
Enoch
Enoch
Enoch’s father died in 2008, and his mother died the following year. After their deaths, he and his sister, Judith, lived with their grandmother for a time. There were seven people already living in her home. The family was not always able to eat every day. They asked The Rafiki Foundation for help. Enoch and Judith arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2011. Enoch knows the Bible is true and believes Jesus is the Creator of all things. As he is given more responsibilities around the Village, he has learned about the value of hard work, leadership, and integrity. He continues to pray for strength to do well in school, love others, and honor God.
