My Name is
Fabrice
Fabrice
Fabrice was abandoned and placed in front of a children’s home as a small child. He was very needy, so the District Social Welfare officer asked the Rafiki Foundation to care for Fabrice. Fabrice arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in November 2013. He is now surrounded by a loving family and in an environment where he can gain a great education and learn about the love of Jesus Christ. Fabrice is full of wisdom from God. He is learning that God is steadfast, and His love endures forever. He knows Christ as His personal Lord and Savior and is committed to living for him. Due to developments in Rwanda, Fabrice is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting him through a full school scholarship and two meals daily.
