My Name is
Gift

Gift
Gift was abandoned by his parents at a young age and placed in the care of his grandmother. Though she tried, Gift's grandmother could not provide for his basic needs. The Rafiki Foundation was asked to assume Gift's care. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2013. Gift continues to work hard in school to do his best, and he is thankful for the help he receives academically in the Rafiki School. He knows Christ as His personal Lord and Savior, and he wants to glorify God in everything he does.
