Born in 2000, Mubarak left his guardian’s house in 2007, to live according to his own words, “as he wants”. This quest for independence will lead him to the streets of Yaoundé, where he will survive by doing the dishes and cleaning in the bars. Mubarak never had the opportunity to learn to read and write. And those long years on the street made him lose all interest in school. Today, Mubarak is a young adult of 21, who has only one dream: to find some stability in his life. He wants permanent housing, training that would qualify him for a profession and a job. His only obstacle, the mental barriers that make him believe that a return to school is difficult for him, if not impossible. It is on this point that we work with Mubarak, making him aware of all the gifts and talents he possesses. We teach our young people in general to discover their identity in Christ, to recognize all these skills that God has placed in them and to rely on words of faith to activate these skills in them.
