When I first came to King\u2019s Hope, I was in need of any work they could offer, so I started out as a volunteer working as a Community Care Worker. This involved going to the field, meeting people living with HIV, TB, and other chronic conditions. I would take the sick to the clinic, help them take medication correctly, and educate them on hygiene issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was interested in developing myself further, so when courses became available, I made sure I learned as much as I could to better the lives of those around me. I knew that information is power\u2014and if I was better informed, so would my community be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, I have completed several courses: a short course on HIV awareness, TB DOTS, Adherence Counselling, a 69-day training on Home-Based Care, and one called Free to Grow<\/em>. This course taught me financial management, self-understanding, and presentation skills. Later, I enrolled in a computer course, which gave me the skills to report more effectively on my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have grown significantly as an employee\u2014from a Community Care Worker to a Data Capturer, then a Facilitator, and now an HTA Manager. I am more confident, I share openly, and I can motivate others easily. This job has made me financially independent, but the greatest benefit is spiritual: my work has strengthened my relationship with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
