Meklit
Meklit
Before arriving at the village, Meklit's grandmother cared for her. The whereabouts of her mother and father remain unknown. Her grandmother sold cooked maize and clothes to gain an income. However, she could not support Meklit. She contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Meklit was approved and arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia on July 22, 2011. Meklit now loves to read, especially the Bible. She is humble, quiet, and very patient and understanding with others.
