My Name is
Uwase
Uwase
Uwase arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. She is an active, inquisitive young woman with much potential. 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. From the Rafiki Bible Study, Uwase has learned that Christians should be at peace. Uwase is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
