Project Description
Mehrabuddin, son of Jelauddin, is living in Miyan DoJoy village in the Pashtoon Zarghan district. He was born into a poor family who were illiterate and busy with agricultural work. He lives with his parents and siblings. His parents are aged, and his sisters are jobless at home. Therefore, he is the head of his family and the bread earner in his house. With acceptance of a variety of problems, he could study until he could finish school.
He had to immigrate to Iran illegally to earn money. On the way to Iran, Iran’s police fired at him, but he was able to escape and went to Iran by the way. He borrowed about 21,000 Afghanis for this trip, which he could not pay until now. He had told them that by going to Iran, he could earn money and pay it back. But after being in Iran for about 12 days and looking for a job, police in Iran arrested him, and after beating him, they forced him across the border. When this drama happened, he faced a mental disease.
The village people, especially the Arbab of the village, saw his situation. They introduced him to Pashtoon Zarghon MVTC. In this center, he learns house wiring. In this program, he learns a vocational skill and receives a monthly transportation fee. Besides all of these, he gets an FFT for paying his family food payment. He got about 8000 Afghanis in each month. This amount is so good for his financial situation.
According to the learning in this vocation, he has learned more interesting issues technically and vocationally about life skills and hygiene, as well as how he can set up his small businesses in the future. All the mentioned topics have motivated him to work and have increased his hope for the future. He is overjoyed that he can help his family every month thanks to WFP 8000 AFA and that he receives daily transportation from the HELP and OSAA organizations.
By learning a new vocation, his life is changed. His financial problems have decreased, and his vision of the future has improved. He feels hopeful and empowered to change his life and his family’s lives. He is very motivated to begin his work according to his vocation. In this way, his life will be assured in the future.
He said, “My life was full of problems. I tried to go to Iran and find a way to change my life, but after immigration I understood that I could not work there. After spending difficult days there, the police crossed me from border. I was so sad and felt I could do nothing in the world. But from the time I came here, I felt that I could change the world. I know a new vocation and my mind is confident about my family’s situation. I will continue my vocation in the future and support my family. “
