Queenie
Queenie
Queenie was abandoned in 2010 and has no known family. Though she tried, her caregiver could no longer provide for he and contacted the Rafiki Foundation. Queenie arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2011. Queenie is a kind young woman with an infectious smile. Due to developments in Rwanda, Queenie is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting her through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Queenie has learned the value of prayer from this transition. She continues to strive to grow closer to God.
