Kofi
In 2006 both of Kofi’s parents died in a vehicular accident while they were transporting their farm produce to a nearby market. Afterward, Kofi lived with his cousin, Francisca, and his grandfather. His grandfather had no meaningful income and struggled to feed the children. Social Welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to assume the care of both of these children. They arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2009. Kofi excels on the soccer field where he is probably the best athlete in the class.
