Marie Jeanne
Marie Jeanne
Marie Jeanne was brought to her elderly, sickly grandmother when she was a young child after both of her parents died of sickness. Her grandmother was already caring for eight other children at the time, and her own health was deteriorating. She contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Marie Jeanne arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2010. She soon adjusted to her new life and became excited about attending school. She has learned how important it is to pray for others. Her faith continues to grow as she trusts in God and His plan for her life. Marie Jeanne praises God for the prayers he has answered in her life.
