Sam
Sam
An aunt cared for Sam after his mother and father died of an illness in 2010. The aunt had two children of her own and five orphans living with her in a one room house. The rains washed out part of a wall in her mud house where they were living. She depends on well-wishers to help feed the children. Because of this desperate situation, Sam was approved by the Rafiki Foundation and he was moved to his new home at the Rafiki Village Rwanda, August 2011. Sam can now go to school and has a bright future and a hope. Due to developments in Rwanda, this child is living off-site from the Village. We are however still supporting them through a full scholarship and two meals daily.
