Hello Wazuan's

I need help!
There is a family member who got a D in KCSE and I have been tasked with the job of getting him to a level of where he will either be employable or self sufficient.

I am looking for ideas and opinions because apart from watching TV I don't think there is any other thing of interest this guy has.


What's on your mind?
He needs to hate the house for him to get out and do anything meaningful,so look for ways of making the comfy and lazy stay unbearable-engage him in manual labour,switch off the main switch or refuse to pay Elec bill,spoil the cable,such.smile



very good idea kwanza hiyo ya main switch...


What about ile nyama iko chilling pale kwa deep freezer?

Mpe kazi ya kutafuta local channels [KTN,NTV,Citizen....] on Startimes [Signet]...

This may jump-start his creative juices smile

Oh.. Na u-mpe deadline. Otherwise atoke aende kutafuta 'signal' shags..

*

Short term goal: Get them off the couch

How: One on one 'Oprah' chat about their future prospects.

Identify the person's interests/their strong points.

By the choice of subjects you have listed
Quote:
The guy got d minus in english, physics and maths
they may have been forced to take up Physics [Sciences] at school. Add math to the subject combination and that is a major recipe for failure if one has not developed an interest in science

Look at the performance in the art based subjects. Identify what makes them tick: Music, Design, Performing Arts ? Just what excites them.

Nurture that interest into something other people may look upon...

All in all, you have a huge task ahead.
Live and learn; and don’t forget, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

A D suggests he is not very good in books.Chances are that he is not creative either and that is why you have been asked to think for him.No employer is keen on such a person.

Best option have him to acquire some skills. Hairdressing, barber, milking of cows,greenhouse mgt, mechanic, cook/chef etc.

Finally ensure that TV is locked up in a cage in the Wall unit or put it in your bedroom before you leave for work.That lazy bone will watch TV all day then do something with the house gal after that.Elec costs will go up while house duties remain undone.

Shida × 2.


yap shida....if u r the big bro or sis he/she will expect you to always chip in for him/her. worse even he will steal from you to buy a pint. at the moment he is building castle in the air that's why he/she is watching TV. Life hasn't started for the dude yet or he thinks. Make sure it doens't start too late or he/she is going to be a total bother to your life and familys too. Mwambie aamke aende akatafute kazi or go to some college or something...and yes your mboch might be the next attractive object for him to him(kama ni chali)
You cant win, unless you first begin....

He can probably try a course on food production or food and beverage service, some of the local institutions (definitely not Utalii) which offer such might take him in with his qualifications.....he can start with a cert then proceed to Diploma. Afterwards he can seek employment as a Waiter, cook or something in a hotel or school.....can even open his own restaurant with enough capital. There are also people who have been able to secure employment in Dubai with just a catering cert, i know someone who is currently earning almost 200K huko yet alikuwa na KCSE grade kama hiyo.

ATI NINI?

May be true, since academic failure doesn't mean failure in life. Neither does academic success guarantee a succesful life.

ALWAYS help relatives from a distance!!! Don't let such characters move into your house. They will only want to leave when they get a job and they do nothing to make sure they are employable. Some will refuse to move out even after getting a job because they are not making "enough". And if you throw them out, people will only remember how you chased their kid out of your house! Rule of thumb: Help from a distance!

Back to the fellow. Get them a craft course, Hairdressing, Mechanic, Tailoring etc. KYM - Kazi ya mkono - Hiyo tu.

Pay attention to what @MaichBlack is saying. He has a point. Housing these guys is useless venture, unless it's a girl. A lady will be very useful in the house and besides they are more ashamed of letting you down. But the boys feel nothing, just sleep and watch TV.

Given that you have the will to help this young man, these are the options I have used successfully:
- get him boarding college, pay everything yourself. The only money he touches is his pocket money.
- or rent him a house, where they live together with others, this will make him challenged by his agemates living together

Never house anybody in your house.
It kills your privacy and makes your wife unhappy (women have many, many reasons to get upset).
