My Name is
Furahini
Furahini
Furahini and her sister, Scolastika, lived with their grandmother after their mother disappeared. Their grandmother cared for ten children of her own and three grandchildren. She asked if Rafiki would provide Furahini and Scolastika with a permanent home. Their grandmother was incredibly thankful and happy when the girls arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2014. Furahini's name means "enjoyment," and she lives up to her name with her sunny personality. She enjoys school and learning. She loves the Lord and is continually grateful to be at the Rafiki Village Tanzania. She enjoys studying God's Word and singing praises to him with her Rafiki family and classmates.
