Chloe
Chloe
Chloe is a double orphan; both of her parents died when she was around three years old. She was then placed in the care of her grandmother who struggled to care for her. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2003. Chloe now enjoys knowing Christ personally and trusting Him wholly. She has seen God's faithfulness through His providence in her life, and she is amazed at God's love. God's everlasting love for her inspires her to love those around her and be an encouragement to them.
