Justina
Justina
Justina and her twin sister Josephine have been living with their grandparents since birth. They 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! Justina participated in the recent Rafiki Academic Challenge, competing against other classmates in a quiz-style competition. She remains a good student with a superb ability to concentrate until her assignments are done. She is a self-starter who sets high standards for her work and even turns in work early on occasion!
