Neema

Neema
After the death of her mother and father, Neema lived with her elderly grandmother and adult sister. Though they tried, they could not provide for Neema's basic needs. She moved to the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2008. Neema is a pleasant young lady. She chooses to work hard at school, and she loves to read. Neema is always attentive in class and serious about her school work. Neema is a quiet leader in her class and at home. She has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study that she should never be discouraged in her faith. She continues to pray to deepen her faith and rely on God in all things.
