“I left Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia after studying at a high school for 2 years. I could not go back home to Iran because of my sexual orientation and my conversion to another religion.”

I joined the amazing Breadwinner’s family and went through their Risers’ programme for two months. I had the chance to meet new people and make new friends and also gain my first work experience in Britain.

After completing the Risers’ programme, I feel more confident with interacting with local people and gained a lot of transferable skills. My mentor of course, had a very important role in these two months, she helped me with my future plans and encouraged me to experiment new things and go further in my life!”

“I am now a Business level three student at WKC and planning to set-up my own business aimed at elimination of homelessness in the United Kingdom and to take a step towards the betterment of the world we live in.”
