Josephine
Josephine and her twin sister Justina have been living with their grandparents since birth. TThey were born out of wedlock, and the father has never assumed any responsibility for the twins. His whereabouts are unknown and the mother’s cause of death is unknown. The grandparents depend on farming for their living, but their grandfather's health began to fail. He was afraid that after his death the grandmother wouldn't be able to support the children on her own. This case was reported to Social Welfare by the grandfather and soon after Josephine and Justina joined their new Rafiki family. Both girls are now thriving! Josephine participated in Career Days during the recent school break and also helped with the Academic Challenge quizzing for her class level. Her teacher describes her as an organized student who pays attention and participates well in class. She takes her education seriously and leads her classmates in study time after school.
