Juliet
Juliet
Juliet lost her mother in 2003 and her father in 2004. Her parents were only 30 and 23 years of age. Juliet was put in the care of an aunt who was caring for an additional six children. Her aunt survived by buying and reselling grocery items, but she struggled to maintain this business with caring for so many children. The home was not suitable to provide for the physical needs of Juliet. Social Welfare commented that the children were all very happy, but there was no future in store for them. Juliet is now at Rafiki, where she continues in joy and is having all her childhood needs met. Her teacher says she has really improved in English, both speaking and writing. She is active in the Rafiki youth group and is becoming a good leader.
