Aini, Albert Valley Institute of Vocational Studies

Aini graduated in 2022 from Albert Valley Institute of Vocational Studies (AVIVS), where he completed his training as a motorcycle and bicycle mechanic. Before training at AVIVS, he was a subsistence farmer.

He now rents a small plot under a tree beside a busy road in Kasese town and his monthly income enables him to rent a single room in the town where he lives. Aini has one trainee who has paid for three months informal training.

Over time Aini wants to build up his business and find a bigger garage or workshop. He saves some of his earnings each month as one day he hopes to buy a small plot of land and to build a house and raise livestock.
