Hope was brought to live with her aunt and uncle after the death of her parents. Hope and her brother and sister were separated and given to different friends and relatives. The family that Hope was given to had six small children and were unable to continue caring for her. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted and Hope arrived at her new home at Rafiki Village July 2011. Hope loves attending school and playing games with other Rafiki girls.
