My Name is
Noah

Noah
Noah’s mother died a few days after giving birth to him. He was then placed in the care of his maternal grandmother. His grandmother reported that she was struggling to care for Noah and was barely able to provide food for him, so she asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Noah arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2004. Noah knows that God has provided abundantly for him, especially by cleansing him from his sins. One of Noah's favorite hymns is "My Faith Has Found a Resting Place" because it reminds him that anytime he is going through difficulties, he can trust in God's care for him.
