Juma is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Thika Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $900.
The registrar has said Juma can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Juma has a 3.9 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 Juma would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Juma 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 Thika Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $460
• Final term tuition: $350
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Tumusiime
Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($262). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.
Update from Thika: we've started the first stage. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
