Michael Kitamirike is 24.

Michael has lived a hard life losing both parents when he was just nine years old.  He became homeless and destitute, forced to live on the streets.  Undeterred, he continued searching for work and oter opportunities and at 14 he was offered a small job. Rather than takng a wage, he instead asked for school fees as payment, and was able to complete junior high school this way!

Michael enjoyed working with computers during his schooling and believes that a course in computer technology would open up opportunities for future employment.
