My Name is
Kalkidan
Kalkidan
Kalkidan was abandoned at a very young age, so his elderly grandparents cared for him. Because of their limited resources, his grandparents were going to have him become a shepherd until they heard about the Rafiki Foundation. Kalkidan was approved and arrived at the Rafiki Village in Ethiopia 2011. His name means "promise" in Amharic, the national tribal language of Ethiopia. He now has the promise of a new hope and future as his needs are met, he receives a quality education, and he studies God's Word each day! Kalkidan continues to grow in his faith, and he knows that God is sovereign. Singing hymns to the Lord brings him joy, especially singing "How Firm a Foundation."
