George
George
An elderly woman was the guardian of George and his two brothers. The fathers of the boys are unknown and the mother was unable to care for them. They lived in deplorable conditions before this woman moved them to her home. In 2011 medical complications made it impossible for her to care for them any longer. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to help. The boys were moved to their new home at the Village. George loves to learn about his country's history because he likes to memorize facts, historical people, and events in history. He hopes to be a professional baseball player when he grows up.
