Nancy
Nancy’s mother abandoned her, leaving her with her grandparents shortly after her birth. Her father was unknown. Nancy’s grandparents were impoverished and unable to provide the life they wanted to give to her. They contacted Rafiki for help. Nancy arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2014. Nancy is now a serious student who always comes to school prepared to work hard. She has many friends and is a good friend to others. She is thankful to learn more about God every day at home and at school. Her love for Christ makes her a kind towards her peers and respectful to her elders. Nancy enjoys singing praises to God and praying for others.
