Kato is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at the Kisumu Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950. The registrar has said Kato can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Kato has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Kato would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Kato isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $950 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $20 • Final term tuition: $320 • Outstanding tuition balance: $610 Glad we found this place.

            Hang in there, Kamau. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
