My Name is
Tumsifu
Tumsifu
Tumsifu was abandoned at birth and spent the first five years of his life at an orphanage in Tanzania. The orphanage contacted the Rafiki Foundation about long-term care. Tumsifu arrived at the Rafiki Village in Tanzania in 2011. Tumsifu is now a very bright young man. He is sharp, loves to joke with others, and a fun person to be around. Tumsifu's name means "praise" in Swahili, and he is appropriately named! He enjoys giving praise to God. He is continually thankful to be at Rafiki, where he receives a good education and learns about God.
