Judith
Judith
Judith’s mother passed away in 2006. The grandmother, who lived on subsistence farming and no outside source of income, tried to provide for Judith and her other five children. The small home was decent, but there were simply not enough resources for the basic needs of any child. Rafiki Village Malawi received Judith in October 2007. She now lives with nine other Rafiki sisters where she is loved and adored. Judith recently played a leading role in a dramatic re-telling of the story of Ali Baba which was performed in front of the whole school.
