Solomon Nakigozi

Solomon is one of latest Vocational Training Scheme recipients in 2015. Originally from Bajjo, Solomon was studying well in a local secondary school - reaching Secondary 2 before falling pregnant early with her first child while just 17 years old. Solomon was unable to continue her secondary education and pulled out of school, instead stayed at home to look after her daughter Melissa.

With Melissa now two years old, Solomon showed great ambition to apply for one of Vocational Scholarship places, successfully applying for a tailoring course at St Padre Pio Integrated Training Centre. Solomon is coming to the end of the one-year course and is currently on work experience as part of the training in a local tailoring business, where she is excelling.
