I have noticed a great change in my son [since his training]. He has become responsible and very focused on what he is doing. He has had so many projects with different clients… they have all said good things about his work, and attitude.
He always helps financially around the house making sure we have essentials like food. When the load shedding [power cuts] became worse and security issues started in this area, Noel bought us a solar set to keep the house lit in dark times. He is a very thoughtful person. I am proud to call him my son.”

My mother is a bricklayer, and I’m very happy about it because she is able to buy all my needs with the money she makes. She bought my school uniform and books, and even gives me money for lunch. My mother is a very strong woman, and I want to be just like her."

I came here to gain a skill. I believe it will help me achieve my goals. I will be able to support my family and help others. And perhaps go on to create job opportunities for young people by opening my own business.
I have a 7-year-old son who dreams of becoming a doctor. This skill will help me provide for his education and support his dreams. This training is our stepping stone to better things.
I am very happy and grateful to be part of this training. I hope more young people and parents can access this kind of guidance, because skills are the best foundation for a better future.”
“I am happy to be here and to be part of this new journey. The children are excited and committed to taking care of the new school. This is a great beginning for Miswa, and we hope the government will send more teachers to support this growing community.”
