Lucy
Lucy's parents died in 2011. She lived with an unemployed uncle and his children until Social Welfare determined that Lucy would excel in school if given the opportunity and contacted the Rafiki Foundation in 2012. Lucy is a good student and has recently moved from Grade 4 to Grade 5. Lucy did well on her Grade 4 national exams and is enjoying Grade 5, but she has learned that the work is much harder in Grade 5. She is learning to study hard and concentrate on her schoolwork. She will quickly learn to spend more time on them and will do well.
