Tizeta
Tizeta was abandoned by her mother, and her father is unknown. She lived with her grandparents for a time before arriving at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. Her grandparents were elderly and unemployed, and they sought help from social services. They referred the family to the Rafiki Foundation. Tizeta's favorite hymn is "O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus" because it reminds her that God's love for her is everlasting. Through studying God's Word, she has learned to pray for others and obey God's commands.
