Maina's final semester of a nursing degree in Kasarani
A first-generation student, Maina needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.
🇰🇪 Kenya550 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at the Kasarani Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $600.
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 $600 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $70
• Final term tuition: $500
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maina
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Mysuru but we're thinking of you. God bless
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Fort Worth.
Sending love, Maina. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier!
how is Maina doing now?
Best of luck, Maina. I hope things turn around soon. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
You're not alone, Maina. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Greetings from Nagpur.
thinking of you, Maina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Medan this morning.
good luck, Maina. Hope this works out for you. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kasarani.
Sending love, Maina. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 5 people at work.

Sending good thoughts, Maina. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
thanks for sharing this, Maina. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
