How One Decision Changed Juvenal’s Future
uvenal, who left school after primary education due to financial challenges in a family of seven, transformed his life after realizing that limited family land could not secure his future and deciding to acquire practical skills. Starting with casual construction work and later learning soap and paint making in his community, his breakthrough came when World Vision’s TARE Youth Engagement and Employment Project provided entrepreneurship training, financial literacy, and access to savings groups, enabling him to expand into a formal business. Today, he is the owner of “Dirty Cleaner,” a growing manufacturing company producing soap, shampoo, and paint, and has trained over 480 people in vocational skills. His success, including winning a national youth entrepreneurship prize and reinvesting in his business, has allowed him to support his family, acquire assets, and pursue a vision of building generational wealth while inspiring others through his journey from limited opportunity to empowered entrepreneurship.
