    • Jacquline lives in Vanuatu, where she was struggling to find work after dropping out of university for financial reasons.
    • Jacquline joined the Ready for Work program run by Oxfam's partner Youth Challenge Vanuatu. Her training helped her secure an administration officer role in the office of the Ombudsman.
    • Her increased income helped Jacquline to re-enrol at university, where she’s now studying Public Administration and Management.
    When I came to [Youth Challenge Vanuatu] it encouraged me, it built me up, it gives me courage to move on and achieve my goals and dreams.
