Over one hundred seventy young people graduated from a vocational program in Arua City. The MunguFeni Foundation trained them for three months in skills like tailoring and hairdressing. Officials told the graduates to use their new abilities to build stable careers.
A local government representative, Betty Akello Otekat, advised them to tap into state programs like the Parish Development Model for business growth. Another official, Raymond Ombere, stressed the importance of persistence, saving money, and improving their skills over time. The foundation's administrator, Lawrence Econi, said they have trained more than two hundred people this year, highlighting that using the training practically is key to becoming self-sufficient.
The foundation runs several community projects targeting hundreds of orphans, unemployed youth, and other vulnerable individuals. It operates without outside money, relying on local resources instead, though it has a partnership with an NGO forum that supports half its activities. Founder Benard Feni stated the group's mission is to help people through charity and sustainable development based on Christian values.
