Over the past five years, I've had the opportunity to chat with many individuals in #Uganda about their #hopes and #dreams; their desires to see their children receiving an #education or getting a good job when they are older, listening to stories about death and illness all because of relatively inexpensive medication and treatment, and even #parents sharing with me their desire to gain a new #skill, or simply having the opportunity to boost their income. If there is something that these parents certainly don't lack then it is definitely their #desire to improve their standard of living and provide a better future for their #family. Unfotuantly, desire can only take you so far; desire without access to opportunities doesn't improve life circumstance. "People live in #poverty not because they are lazy but because they lack the same opportunities that we've had to make a living." Over the same five years I've had access to many opportunities that I daily try not to take for granted; I am currently studying towards a #degree, I have been able to pick up numerous #jobs when I've needed them, I have access to #healthcare without the worry of increasing bills, and also even had the opportunity for luxuries including #travel to many countries around the world. Kick-Start a Career is our way at @hope_for_life_katanga to provide parents with access to opportunities that will change the course of their #life. So whether it be access to training, to develop or gain a new skill to earn from, or access to a #loan to provide the necessary capital to boost their #business, we are looking for people to join us in helping to kick-start as many careers as possible. To join us in kick starting careers in #Uganda then send me a message and I will let you know how you can get involved, otherwise head to the website and fill out our contact form. hopeforlifekatanga.com/blog #KickStartaCareer #travelling #kampala #child #charity #ngo #ong #nonprofit #microfinance #apprenticeship
