Christian

My name is Christian, I was born in Nigeria, where I lived with my wife and daughter. I was a businessman: I owned two stores and I led a happy life, until I lost my mother in a terrorist attack. A few weeks later, my wife and daughter were brutally killed by a group of local bandits.

I sold everything I had and bought a one-way plane ticket to Italy: I needed to start over, forget my pain and start over.

I am very grateful to be still alive and to have the opportunity to rebuild my life in this country, which I consider my new home: I have nothing more to ask for, if not to be able to earn a living honestly.
The 4aHuman project has helped me to learn Italian, the most important thing I could do in order to be able to integrate successfully, and to put my work experience to good use, helping me draft my CV and supporting me during my training as a mechanic.

I’ve always enjoyed working with machines, understanding how they work: now it’s my job. After losing everything, it’s wonderful to be able to live an honest, trouble-free life without having to depend on anyone.
