For seven long years, Andrew from Mbarara lived with the painful reality of unemployment despite holding a Master’s degree. When he graduated, he was confident that his qualifications would secure him a stable and well-paying job within a short time. He applied to government institutions, private companies, NGOs, and international organizations.
He attended countless interviews, sometimes reaching the final shortlist stage, only to receive rejection emails days later.As time passed, the emotional pressure intensified. Watching former classmates progress in their careers while he remained stagnant deeply affected his confidence.
Family members began questioning why such a qualified person could not secure employment. Financial strain added to the burden, forcing him to rely on temporary and low-paying tasks just to survive.
