Mwawi
Mwawi
Mwawi's mother had a C-section to deliver Mwawi and his twin brother. She died of post-partum hemorrhage two weeks after delivery, and Mwawi's twin brother died of unknown causes a few weeks after they were admitted to a crisis nursery in Mzuzu. Social Welfare contacted the Rafiki Foundation to care for Mwawi. He arrived at the Rafiki Village on February 17, 2015 and happily settled into his new home. Mwawi is an energetic and enthusiastic student who is often the first to raise his hand and respond with the right answer. He is able to write his name, read many sight words, and skip count to 100 by 5's. His teacher says that he is a good student.
