Uwase
Uwase
Uwase arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2014. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Uwase is an outgoing, friendly young woman who knows how to make new friends easily. She enjoys spending time with friends and being outside. Uwase has learned the importance of reading God's Word, and she continues to develop her prayer life. She wants to seek God's presence for the rest of her life. Due to developments in Rwanda, Uwase is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting her through a full school scholarship and two meals daily. Uwase is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
