Hilda
Hilda
Hilda was abandoned when she was two years old. She was then brought to the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center hospital in 2009 and then taken to a short-term orphanage. The orphanage contacted the Rafiki Foundation concerning her long-term care and education. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Hilda is a sweet, quiet young woman. She is well behaved and never causes problems in her class. She is shy and quiet most of the time. She continues to work hard in school to do the best that she can. She is grateful to be safe and cared for at the Rafiki Village. Hilda enjoys singing praises to God and studying His Word with her Rafiki family each day.
