We have seen how providing vocational training skills can change lives and build dreams for the Ugandan women we serve. Building on this success, we have started to provide vocational training for our young adults. Some of the children we have sponsored in school are not academically gifted and are seeking a more hands-on approach to securing a financially independent livelihood. This February, we have expanded our vocational training program to give these young adults new opportunities.
Solomon, 21, lives with his elderly and uneducated aunt. He was orphaned by the war in Northern Uganda. He completed his studies up to secondary four, but realizes that he cannot continue academically. He has chosen to study an electrical engineering course which will last for one year. Like his aunt, he is strong, hard-working and refuses to give up.
Thanks to your support, we are able to provide him with this life-changing, dream-building opportunity.
