Ibrahim Imbanda

Ibrahim is 18 years from Gobero.  He is the first child of 6 children from a large extended family. His father does not own land and works at as a herdsman/pastoralist.  Ibra being the first child has always worked with the father to graze the cattle from place to place. This is a very challenging and time-consuming task for him but he always found some time to participate in the different activities offered at the Resource Centre.

The family is in a state of absolute poverty, however in spite of this, have been able to educate him up to Senior Four. His father admits that he does not have the funds to continue supporting his son through education, so the family took the opportunity to put Ibra forward to the Vocational Training Scheme as the only chance to help Ibra have his life chances improved; and Ibrahim completed a course in tailoring at ST Padre Pio Integrated Skill and Training Centre.
