My Name is
Precious
Precious
Precious's mother died in 2009, and her father then abandoned her. She lived with her grandmother and nine other children in a small house for a time. Food was scarce and there was no opportunity for an education. Precious's grandmother contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Precious was approved and arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2012. Precious is helpful and encouraging to others. She understands the purpose of education, where it can take her, and who Creator God is. She believes Jesus is the Son of the Most High God. Precious enjoys playing soccer and reading. She wants to know the Lord more each day.
