Kelia
Kelia
An old woman from a local village brought Kelia to a police station on July 20, 2011, hoping to find someone to care for this baby. The baby was then placed at a small orphange in hopes for finding the mother. Unable to care for so many babies the Rafiki Foundation was contacted, hoping for a quick placement. After further investigation and finding no information, Kelia was approved and arrived at her new home, the Rafiki Village Rwanda on August 3, 2011. With lots of love and attention from the Rafiki Mother, nourishing food, and prayers of many, Kelia now has a future and a hope. Kelia is a good student who is polite, cooperative and loves to learn. She just needs to gain a bit of self-confidence. Due to developments in Rwanda, this child is living off-site from the Village. We are however still supporting them through a full scholarship and two meals daily.
