Zulaflii

UPDATE!  Zulaflii’s three year old brother was found and brought to Neema.  Since we only take two year olds and under, Zulaflii and his brother Luckman have moved to another center in Arusha that takes older children.  We will continue to pay for his mom’s support while she lives at Sober house.  When she is clean she will be allowed to take both boys home.

His mom told the police she left him somewhere, on a bus, in a bush, with an old woman. An alcoholic, she wasn’t sure where she left him. He has been found and mom has gone into a treatment center. We will keep baby Zulaflii until she can get sober and Social Welfare says she is capable of taking him back. We think he is about 3 to 4 months old.


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
