Rebeca Robert, 12 yrs old

Rebeca started her life with her father passing away when she was just a toddler, she lived with her mother in the Singida region in a extremely poor village. Due to the situation of Rebeca’s family at the age 7 she branched out and started to work as a house worker. As Rebeca was working she had been moving house to house.. due to all situation she was being abused and mistreated, Rebeca became emotionally damaged and never attended a single class until Hope Orphanage. 

 We traveled to Singida and this little girl ran toward us and she looked at us saying “I am looking for a job.” We decided to take her back to Arusha on the way she cried for food we stopped and bought her food. We brought her to the hospital doctors proved she was okay through all the abuse and mistreating, again we left that in the past praying for Gods healing upon her life. At the time Rebeca was 7 years old with no curriculum knowledge, we enrolled her into school but they denied her due to her age. We continued to try and the school finally accepted her she had to start in class one supposedly she was to be in class three but her age kept her, till this day she is very smart and catches on very quickly Rebeca is one of the top kids excelling academically.
