BLANDINE, BUKAVU
"I am the second of seven children. When my father died, I was in the fourth year of secondary school and I had to leave school because there was not enough money to finance my studies. But I was able to access free training at the Don Bosco Professional Training Centre in Bukavu. I decided to learn masonry, a trade traditionally reserved for men. I passed my exams, found my first job and since then I have always had work. I can support myself and my younger brothers' education. I encourage other girls to do whatever they can for their future, because the key is in their hands."
