My Name is
Kenny
Kenny
Kenny's mother died of an illness when he was a young child, and his father remains unknown. He and his brother, Brino, were taken in by an elderly grandmother who struggled to provide for them as well as four other children. The boys' grandmother was concerned for their future, and she contacted Rafiki for help. The boys arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in February 2014, and their grandmother was overjoyed. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment at the Village. Through the Rafiki Bible Study, Kenny has learned that we should always stand firm in our faith. He continues to pray to always stand firm in the Lord.
