Dorcas's final semester of a degree in civil engineering in Kasarani
Dorcas is two terms away from finishing a degree in civil engineering but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $550.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Kasarani University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $550 goes:
• Final term tuition: $430
• Textbooks and materials: $65
• Exam and lab fees: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Dorcas
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($24). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for exam and lab fees is now scheduled.
Update from Kasarani: we've started the first stage. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
