Motwaro graduated in 2016, hoping to get a job with only his papers full of excellence. However, life brought him a bitter pill to swallow.
He looked for work in and out of Nairobi, walking around with his brown envelope full of documents, but to no avail.
He even decided to do odd jobs to support himself, as returning home was not an option for him.
A few times, he got better opportunities, but they were short-term contracts, which always put him back on the streets, looking for work again.
Furthermore, the young man shared that at the time, his characteristics were more like a curse than a stepping stone, as they often hindered his career prospects.
