Help me finish a master's in public health at Nakuru Polytechnic - $300 to go
A first-generation student, Achieng needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya327 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Nakuru Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $300.
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 academic advisor 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 $300 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $50
• Final term tuition: $200
• Exam and lab fees: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Achieng. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Sending love, Achieng. Study hard! I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nakuru.
So sorry you're going through this, Achieng. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Kakamega this morning. Thinking of Nakuru.
Hope it all works out, Achieng. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. God bless.
Wishing you the best. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Half-Way Tree.
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 40 people at work. Greetings from Cologne.
Thanks for sharing this, Achieng. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
