My Name is
Inocent

Inocent
Inocent was malnourished and small for his age when he arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania in May 2012. His grandmother cared for him after he was abandoned by his mother. As a widow with no income and other dependents to care for, his grandmother struggled to provide for even his basic necessities and requested Rafiki's help. Inocent is now a good student who does well in most of his subjects. He loves to sing praises to God and to pray.
