Nancy
Nancy
Nancy’s father is unknown, and her mother abandoned her shortly after birth. Her impoverished grandparents could not offer Nancy the life they wanted her to have. They contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help and Nancy arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2014. Nancy is now a serious student who always comes to school prepared to work hard. She is a good friend to others and searches for ways to serve. Nancy hopes to become a doctor in the future so that she can care for those who are sick. Her favorite parts of each day are her personal devotion time and her Bible class. Nancy enjoys singing praises to God and praying for others. She prays that she will always be kind and continue to learn more about God.
