My Name is
Tapiwa
Tapiwa
When Tapiwa and her three sisters lost their parents in 2010, they were placed in the care of their widowed grandmother. She had no source of income and finding food for the family was a daily problem. Though she tried, she could not provide for the girls and sought help. Tapiwa and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2011. Tapiwa now enjoys school and hopes to become a surgeon or work in air traffic control. She loves to see the beauty God creates in each sunrise and especially loves to see a rainbow after a rainy day. Tapiwa prays that she will grow in the fruits of the Spirit, hide God’s Word in her heart, and put on the full armor of God.
