Rita Peter, supported by financial assistance from the SIHA Network under the We Cannot Wait Project, recently completed a one-year vocational training program in Building and Construction at Saint Vincent Vocational School in South Sudan.
Expressing her gratitude to the SIHA Network for providing her with this opportunity, Rita emphasized the significance of these skills in enabling her to secure employment despite the field being predominantly male. She firmly believes that her training will open doors for her in the construction industry.
Rita’s aspirations extend beyond personal success. She envisions herself as a role model for young girls, inspiring them to pursue careers in traditionally male-dominated fields. With optimism, she anticipates that her newfound skills will not only ensure her economic independence but also contribute to the well-being of her family.
Recognizing the potential challenges she may encounter while entering the job market, Rita appeals to the SIHA Network and other We Cannot Wait Coalition Members in South Sudan for support in connecting her with various networks, that will allow her to fully utilize her skills and expertise.
