Achieng's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Kisumu
A first-generation student, Achieng needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kenya2,000 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at the Kisumu Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my department head has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the Kisumu Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $300
• Final term tuition: $390
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
