Kiriti Richard

Richard is 19 years and stays in a large extended family of around 15 people being taken care of by his grandmother. His parents are still alive but his dad is an alcoholic and unable to provide for his son.

His mother and grandmother were able to support him into secondary school but only up to Senior Four, which he completed three years ago. Leaving school, Richard tried to look for work to fund his education further, but was unsuccessful.

Richard has been one of our Resource Centre members since we started in Kayunga and was part of the football team, where he proved he was disciplined and committed.

He was successful in his application and enrolled at St Padre Pio Integrated Training Centre in Masanafu for a one-year course in motor vehicle mechanics.
