Francis
Francis’ mother died when he was eight months old. His father died in Libya several months after his wife’s death. Francis and his sister, Pamela, moved in with their grandfather at this time. He struggled to care for them and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. They arrived at their new home, the Rafiki Village Ghana, in December 2009. Francis is very helpful to his mother in the house and he has a good relationship with his Rafiki brothers. He enjoys spending time with the MiniMissionaries that come to visit.
