Akoth is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Nairobi Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950. The registrar has said Akoth can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Akoth has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Akoth would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Akoth isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $450 • Final term tuition: $420 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Eunice
