Aminou’s testimony
Aminou is twenty-three (23) years old, he is an electrician
automobile. Currently an intern, he alternates between two
garages face to face, which allows it to have a lot of
work. Nevertheless, he is willing to leave them to
work in a company to gain experience and,
later, become your own boss and hold your own
garage. He has already found an associate, a friend of his, whom he has
met at the training and integration center
professional of Caritas, but they have not yet had
the opportunity nor the means to implement this project.
However, Aminou does not give up, he and his comrade
Domba know where they want to go and they have already presented
pages of project studies for Aïssata, one of the trainers
and accompanying person in the field. He claims that Caritas gave him
given the courage and confidence to work on his own
even. He explains that he learned a lot at the center, that
this allowed him to earn his money, which allows him to
no longer depend on his parents, and he is very grateful
for that. Aminou is part of the “PAPE” promotion
(Promotion of Support for the Employment Project) financed by
the Association of Friends of the White Fathers.
It was through a friend that he discovered Caritas and
begins his training in June 2022 for six months, a great opportunity for this young person without
Baccalaureate. Following this, he was placed in a garage by Caritas so that he could complete an internship.
and has since been evaluated with the aim of obtaining certification. He managed to gain the trust of
his workshop manager who makes him responsible as much as possible by letting him manage repairs
alone for example.
Aminou nevertheless expresses a need for tools as well as
recognition in those around him.
