I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Dar es Salaam Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $450.
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 faculty supervisor 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 $450 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $30
• Outstanding tuition balance: $200
• Final term tuition: $220
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared it with a few friends. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Love from Bonny
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Mendoza
Praying for you, Florence. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
