Julieth Godwin, the Busega Scotland apprentice, has just completed a piece of research on employment issues for vulnerable young people leaving orphanages in Mwanza. The research report ‘Findings on the research of different orphanages in Mwanza city on employment problems facing different orphans as they finish their stay in the orphanages’ is Julieth’s first piece of research and written in English rather than Swahili, her first language. The report concludes that support systems are needed for young people, after they leave orphanages, as failures in employment highlight how ill equipped leavers are to live independently. The report will be considered carefully by Busega Scotland’s Moving-on Project, as we seek to learn lessons from our first period of operation. If you would like to comment on Julieth’s research she can be contacted through busegascotland@gmail.com .

Footnote – as well as being our first apprentice Julieth is the proud mother of two wonderful children.
