My Name is
Kiziya
Kiziya
Kiziya’s father died in 2006 after a brief illness and her mother died during the birth of her younger brother Isaac. Kiziya and Isaac were placed in the care of their paternal uncle who was caring for his own children and a wife who iwas not well. Social Service interviewed Kiziya and family members and determined that she has been orphaned/abandoned. She was placed in the care of Rafiki in 2007. Kiziya says she is improving in math because she finally understands more of the concepts. She is struggling in several classes at school. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exams to be sent to us. Kiziya must have passing grades in all subjects to advance to senior secondary school in January. Kiziya's joy in learning is obvious by the smile on her face.
