Leah
Leah
Leah has been an orphan since 2003. Leah and her younger brother Elijah, went to live with a distant relative who had four children of his own to care for. Unable to support the children, the extended family released Leah and her brother to the care of the Rafiki Village Nigeria. They began their new life at Rafiki in 2004. Leah is a fairly good student but struggles in English and math classes. She says she learns the most from her history teacher because he always asks her to do her best and never give up until she completes her tasks. Leah will need to work hard in order to have a chance to further her education after graduation.
