My Name is
Moses
Moses
Moses was only a year old when both of his parents died of an illness. He was then sent to live with an aunt who struggled to care for her own two children and him, so she sought help for Moses. She was overjoyed when the Rafiki Foundation was able to accept Moses. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2011. Due to developments in Rwanda, Moses is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting him through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Moses does well in Bible study class and enjoys it. He continues to seek to be obedient to the Lord as he grows.
