Uwase
Uwase
Uwase’s parents died of a sickness in 2010. After their death, Uwase’s two sisters were forced to become the caretakers of their baby sister—not an easy job when you are thirteen- and eight-years-old. Their grandmother heard about Rafiki and was interested in having Uwase come to live and go to school here. Uwase was approved and moved to her new home at Rafiki Village Rwanda in April 2012. Her sisters were thrilled. She is an active, inquisitive girl with much potential. Due to developments in Rwanda, this child is living off-site from the Village. We are however still supporting them through a full scholarship and two meals daily.
