My Name is
Fabrice
Fabrice
Fabrice was abandoned just inside the gate to a children’s home that cares for severely disabled kids. He was very needy, the situation was not good, and so the District Social Welfare officer asked the Rafiki Foundation to care for Fabrice. He came to 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. Due to developments in Rwanda, this child is living off-site from the Village. We are however still supporting them through a full scholarship and two meals daily.
