Charles Ojok

Disability is not inability!! Charles Ojok 26 years old from Patongo town council, Agago District. Local council one chairperson reached out to him to join the project. Charles decided to pursue shoe making because of his disability, he was placed at Vardy’s vision enterprise for 3months where he acquired skills in shoe making and repair, he was supported with start-up kits to start his own shoe making workshop.

On average he earns 300,000 per month. ‘’I save in our group, get credit for purchasing materials for my shoe business’’. His earnings are spent on buying food, clothes for his siblings and the balance is re invested back to grow the business. His future plan is to train other youth in the community.
