Shukuru Kassim Lindunga, 38 years, works at Wonder
Welders, physical disability
My name is Shukuru Kassim
Lindunga. I was born 38 years ago and I am disabled (legs). My parents
love me and have all along demonstrated an extra care in my upbringing as I am
the only male child in the family. They enrolled me in Primary School where I
performed very well by holding the top positions in the first three classes. This
in essence made me not to be discriminated by my class mates and school colleagues.
In 1993 I joined Yombo Rehabilitation centre in Dar es Salaam where I specialized
in welding.
Looking for an employment is something which is so
difficult for disabled people, they are very rarerly given an equal opportunity
with other people. However, I got employed - but my income was too low for me
to survive. I started working for Wonder Welders in 2006.
I am married with two children, I enjoy my life and I do not feel
discriminated. This is because I was born disabled and I live with my disability,
therefore I do not feel the difference. My dream is to enhance my education as this
is the only key to success.
