Jean de Dieu
Before his arrival at the Rafiki Village in Rwanda, Jean lived with a couple who were neighbors with his mom before she died in November 2012 in a hospital. Jean’s father is unknown. The couple who cared for Jean had two children of their own and was soon expecting a new baby. This couple did not have the resources necessary to care for so many children. The family was overjoyed that Jean has a new home and family with Rafiki. He arrived at Rafiki Village Rwanda in February 2013.
