Christine Mapfasha joined the orphanage in 1997, having moved there from another orphanage where she had resided since 1993 due to the civil war. Her original orphanage was closed down, prompting her transfer. In 2012, she left the orphanage after being informed that she needed to find someone willing to foster or adopt her. With the assistance of a woman from her church, Christine found a new home. While initially enrolled in a vocational and training school to study cooking, her new family supported her in completing her high school education.

However, following the passing of her foster mother, Christine's circumstances changed. She was relegated to the role of a maid and unfairly blamed for her foster mother's death due to perceived carelessness. The unjust treatment prompted her to leave this family permanently. Yet, they compelled her to sign a document stating that she left voluntarily without needing further support. Subsequently, she found refuge with an American missionary who had a prior connection to Roz, a friend of hers. The missionary learned of Christine's story and decided to take her in. Under their care, Christine gradually gained the skills and independence necessary for self-sufficiency.

Currently, Christine supports herself by utilizing her skill in crocheting, a talent she acquired during her early years at the orphanage. She is among the many children who lack information about their family backgrounds, leading the orphanage staff to encourage her to seek adoption or fostering. Drawing from her own experiences, Christine offers advice to prospective foster parents or adoptive families, urging them to make the decision with genuine love and compassion. She shares that it is disheartening to witness the mistreatment some of these children endure after being promised care, affection, and love during their transition from orphanages. Some adoptive parents, she observes, struggle due to the realization of differences or misguided expectations, sometimes even expecting financial compensation for their care.

Christine emphasizes the importance of oversight by orphanage staff and government authorities to ensure the well-being of adopted and fostered children. Their continued involvement is vital in monitoring the treatment and living conditions of these children to safeguard their rights and emotional welfare.
