Joseph
Joseph's mother was disabled, and they were displaced as a result of the 2007 post-presidential-election violence. Joseph's grandmother, though she tried, could not provide for his basic needs. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2011. Since then, Joseph has matured academically and socially. He enjoys studying math and biology. He excels in every subject and is a hard-working student who exhibits self-confidence and has excellent manners. He has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study that we should live a life pleasing to God. Joseph is growing spiritually by reading God's Word, understanding it, and putting it into action.
