Shafiq Kamulegeya

Shafiq is 21 years old from Kayunga community. He is from a family of three children and their mother is a single mother.  His mother has been trying her best to take care of the family with limited resources, but has restricted income to fund the children through school. His mother was only able to take him through primary education and then into Senior Two in 2013, before Shafic was unable to continue his studies. He tried doing casual labour, making chapatti and also digging sand over the last three years to see if he could raise enough money to enable him continue at school, but was unsuccessful. 

He made the decision to apply for the VTS with Uganda Creates and we are delighted he was successful in his application. Shafic started training at St Padre Pio Integrated Training Centre earlier in the year, on a one-year course in electrical installation.
