Enock* grew up in a village in southwest Uganda. He had a difficult upbringing after his father abandoned him, partially due to a medical condition in Enock’s eye. His mother struggled to support him financially or to pay for his education as she had health conditions of her own, and so at a very young age, Enock had to work on cattle ranches to try to earn income for his family.
Enock’s home life worsened when his mother remarried a man who soon turned abusive towards both of them. Enock secretly saved up enough money to flee to the nearest big city where he started a small business. Unfortunately, because he was too young to legally work, it wasn’t long before the authorities shut Enock’s business down.
