Yasin SEKAJJA

Yasin comes from a big family of ten children who are taken care of by his single mother. He is very proud of his family because they have been supportive to him both financially and morally throughout his childhood. Yasin completed Senior Four in 2015 but since then has been working with his uncle on the neighbouring farm to earn an income to further his education. The money he earns he also uses to buy scholastic materials and school fees for his young siblings so has been able to raise sufficient funds to continue his education.

Yasin has been trying to pursue his dream of becoming a motor vehicle mechanics but in vein, until he saw Uganda Creates Vocational Training Scheme. Yasin’s determination and hard-working attitude were all apparent throughout the assessment and we are delighted to offer Yasin a place for 2018.

“Mechanics has always been my dream and while I was still in school I knew that the only way to achieve it was to pass my exams. Unfortunately, my family didn’t have enough money to support me at an advanced level and so I thought my dream was gone.

 The scholarship will now help me earn credentials in motor vehicle mechanics.  My passion for mechanics is matched only by my love for mechanical physics, so my decision to specialize in motor vehicle comes from the heart.”
