Since I’ve been in the Repair Progarmme at TCB, a lot of things have changed in my life. Before TCB, I had no confidence and couldn’t imagine doing all the things that I can do now.
In the beginning I was afraid of working with electricity but now know how to work with electricity safely. I know how to find faults and troubleshoot broken appliances and can fully repair them.
TCB has taught me how to manage my businesses finances and also provides business and life coaching – giving me a holistic approach on how to run my business.

When I started at TCB, I felt like this was what I had been missing since 2015.
Back then I had no idea how to take ownership of my income or be my own boss. I was scared of the challenge but when I got here, I realised that I am greater than my fears. I was also afraid of how to manage my monthly payments but now I can understand and manage everything myself.
Yes, running your own business is difficult and comes with challenges but when I do something, I want to do it well. Thanks to TCB, I know I can do it.

Before TCB, my life was stuck and I was doing odd jobs. We had a lot of problems in our family, which we were not talking about. Coming to TCB has helped me learn new ways to engage in family matters and develop a strong mind.
Managing my own business is not easy, but things are looking good. Selling appliances is a good opportunity for me. Thanks to the coaching classes at TCB, life is very positive, spiritually, which is the most important part for me. My mind is uplifted and I have a new perspective on life.
TCB has changed my life. I have a better future.
Thank you TCB East London for making it possible for me to provide for my children
