Hilda
Hilda was abandoned when she was two years old. She was brought to the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center hospital in 2009 before being taken to a short-term orphanage. The orphanage contacted the Rafiki Foundation concerning her long-term care and education. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Hilda is a sweet, quiet young woman. She continues to work hard in school to do the best that she can. She is grateful to be safe and cared for at the Rafiki Village.
