Hilda
Hilda was abandoned when she was two years old. She was brought to the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center hospital in 2009 before being taken to a short-term orphanage. The orphanage contacted the Rafiki Foundation concerning her long-term care and education. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Hilda is a sweet, quiet young woman. She continues to work hard in school to do the best that she can. She is grateful to be safe and cared for at the Rafiki Village. Hilda enjoys singing praises to God and studying His Word with her Rafiki family each day.
