My Name is
Atsu
Atsu
In 2007, Atsu’s mother and father both died of an illness a few months apart. He and his sister, Akua, then went to live with his uncle, a struggling farmer. Though he tried, he could not care for and feed both his family and Atsu and his sister. Social welfare services asked the Rafiki Foundation to take over the children's care, and Atsu and his sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. Atsu loves to play soccer, and he dreams of playing professionally for Ghana. He knows Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. From the Rafiki Bible Study, he has learned that Christians are to live lives that are pleasing to God by reading His Word and living according to it.
