My Name is
Kelia
Kelia
Kelia arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2011. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Rafiki Village. Kelia is a good student who is polite, cooperative, and enjoys learning. Due to developments in Rwanda, Kelia is living off-site from the Village. She still, however, is receiving a full Rafiki scholarship. Kelia continues to grow in her faith, and we pray she will become a bold light for Christ in her family. Kelia is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
