Emmanuel Maxereka’s journey is a testament to how practical skills, mentorship, and opportunity can transform a young life. As a beneficiary of the Uganda Children Trust Fund under Lazima Link Foundation, Emmanuel received the support he needed to stay in school and discover his true potential.

During his time in the program, Emmanuel developed a strong interest in hands-on work and craftsmanship. The trust fund’s educational support and guidance helped him nurture this passion, giving him the confidence to pursue vocational skills and build a foundation for a meaningful career.

With determination and a clear vision for his future, Emmanuel trained in carpentry—honing his talent, learning the trade, and mastering the techniques needed to become a professional craftsman. Over the years, his dedication paid off.

Today, Emmanuel is a skilled carpenter and the proud owner of his own workshop. He not only earns a living through his craft but also contributes to his community by providing quality furniture, repairs, and creative woodwork solutions.

Emmanuel’s story demonstrates the life-changing impact of giving young people the chance to learn and develop practical skills. From a child in need of support to a successful business owner, he stands as an inspiring example of how empowerment leads to independence, dignity, and long-term success.
