Manish from Cite Attlee, with the support of my teachers and mentors, I have stood on my feet today. Going through difficulties in my past, I try to support families with my same background, so I have joined as a social worker in a well-known international Ngo. Willing to do more after work, I continue to help my surroundings, we founded the Yeshua Fellowship. Afterward, we affiliated with some international partners as per my people’s needs for Human rights, code of ethics, adult literacy, and entrepreneurship. and finally, some of my people have been able to break the chain of poverty and also know how to voice out.

How can this service product or solution be expanded to new markets or areas in Africa?

 People started to know their rights and voice out when violated, last we register and advocated for 53 human rights violation cases and we win 14 of them and others still running in courts, we are empowering around 800 families which give a number 5967 individuals, distribution of foodstuff hygiene and Christmas celebration are being done in 19 location.
