Sibongile

Sibongile

After being referred by social welfare services, Sibongile and her sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2010. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Sibongile enjoys learning in school and works diligently. She trusts that Jesus has saved her from her sins. She finds the truth that God is love is His most amazing attribute.
