My Name is
Epa
Epa
Epa’s mother died shortly after giving birth to him in 2003. His elderly grandmother assumed the care of him at this time. Epa’s father then died in 2007. The family had a difficult time caring for Epa and asked social welfare for help. Epa was approved and arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2008. He soon adjusted well to his new home and benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Epa has learned that he needs to trust God in all situations. He knows that there are things that man cannot do, but God can do anything. Epa spends time with God each morning and is stronger in his faith because of it.
