Malesse

Malesse and his twin sister, Zelalem, were orphaned when they were only a year old. Their mother became pregnant while working at a hotel, and their father was never a part of their lives. When their mother died, a cousin and his mother cared for the twins. Due to poor health, they could no longer provide for the children, and the situation became desperate. The Women and Children’s Agency in Mojo, Ethiopia contacted Rafiki. The twins happily settled into their new home at Rafiki in 2015. Malesse now strives to be a good friend to his Rafiki siblings by loving them and teaching them the Word of God. He enjoys playing soccer and hopes to hone his skills so that he may better glorify God with the talent he was given. Malesse prays that he will continue to be a good student and that he will know and understand God’s Word so that he can share it with others.
