Emmanuel’s Story

Emmanuel is a promising young boy of 19 years, the 4th child of a family of 5 siblings. His father is a carpenter and his mother sells fruit in the local market. Emmanuel dropped out of high school due to his poor parents’ inability to pay his school fees and that of his siblings. 

It’s been over two years since Emmanuel dropped out of school due to his parents’ inability to pay his educational expenses but he’s now very excited to be training with a local plumber engaged by EVM.

Emmanuel developed a strong passion for Plumbing as a child and saw the opportunity offered by EVM as a dream come true. He’s happy and excited at the prospects of learning plumbing with all expense-paid by the charity. “After graduation”, he says, “I’d love to be able to fend for myself, help with my family household costs and help to train other young people like himself”
