My Name is
Frankson
Frankson
Frankson and his older sister, Ariet, were orphaned when their mother died in 2009. Their father abandoned them at this time and the children moved in with their grandmother. Social welfare describes the family as living in absolute poverty, depending on well wishers for food and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Since May 2011 Ariet and Frankson have a new home at the Rafiki Village Malawi. Frankson loves going to school like his older sister.
