Jacob
Jacob
Jacob’s father died after a brief illness when Jacob was nine months old. His relatives were very poor and his two older siblings were not able to care for him. Social welfare deemed Jacob’s situation as one of great need and recommended he be placed at Rafiki. He arrived in September 2006 to his new Rafiki family. Today he is in the 9th grade. Jacob is an excellent student who likes school. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exams to come back. Jacob must have passing grades in all subjects to advance to senior secondary school in January.
