My Name is
Tabitha

Tabitha
Tabitha was abandoned as a child, and none of her family members were able to care for her. Social services interviewed Tabitha and her family members, and they determined that she should be placed in the care of the Rafiki Foundation. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2010. Tabitha is a good student who likes school. She says reading books causes her to be more excited about learning. She wishes to study genetics at a university someday. Tabitha says Jesus is making Himself known to her through His Word and the Christians around her at Rafiki. Through the Rafiki Bible Study, she has learned the importance of putting on the whole armor of God. Tabitha continues to pray for her relationship with God to grow.
