Jackson
Jackson’s mother and father died of health complications in June of 2013. Jackson and his two older siblings lived on their own until their house was falling down around them. The village authorities discovered the children and asked the Rafiki Foundation to care for Jackson. The older children are living in temporary housing provided by the village authorities. Jackson is a very active strong child who gets along well with the other children. Due to developments in Rwanda, this child is living off-site from the Village. We are however still supporting them through a full scholarship and two meals daily.
