Mediatrice
Mediatrice’s parents went to live with the father’s parents when they became sick and died shortly after arriving in 2007. Mediatrice had been living with her grandparents since that time. It was difficult for these aging grandparents to care for three of their grandchildren with very little income. They asked Social Welfare for help. Mediatrice arrived at her new home at Rafiki Village Rwanda in January 2009. Her health greatly improved with a nutritious diet and a stable home environment.
