As a rural boy born in Nyanga, misery and poverty were synonymous with his upbringing after he lost his parents at a tender age.
“Putting food on the table was very hard as well as getting fees for my education and often I had to move from one family to another as a herd boy in order to earn a living,” said Nyadombo.
True to his determined vision to turn around his life and impact on the society as well, Nyadombo withstood all hurdles writing his A’ Level in 2016.
Later he attained a Civil Engineering qualification and is a skilled person in that area.
