John* arrived at Dar Victoria as a young man struggling with social skills and daily living tasks, which deeply impacted his self-esteem and confidence. Initially withdrawn and unsure of himself, John found it difficult to engage with others. However, through regular outings and the support of our dedicated staff, he began to make gradual improvements.
A key moment in John’s journey was when we encouraged him to take a course focused on building skills for the work environment. This experience significantly boosted his confidence, helping him gain a sense of purpose and belief in his abilities.
John’s passion for cooking emerged as he began assisting staff in the kitchen. Today, he regularly helps prepare Sunday meals for the home, taking pride in his growing skills.
John’s transformation is a testament to the power of trust, encouragement, and the right support, showing that meaningful change is always possible.
