Tizeta
Tizeta
Tizeta's was abandoned by her mother, and her father is unknown. She lived with her grandparents before arriving at Rafiki in 2010. Her grandparents were elderly and unemployed, and they sought help from social services. They referred the family to the Rafiki Foundation. Tizeta then arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village in Ethiopia where she now enjoys living and learning with others. She says, "I am growing in understanding God's word. I thank God that He has helped me grow into a young woman who strives to be respectful. God has given me a heart to make peace with others and to be a peace maker as much as possible."
