One semester away: help Hellen graduate from the Embakasi Institute of Technology
Hellen has worked and saved for three years to study a diploma in hospitality management; a $450 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya738 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Embakasi Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant 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 3.9 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.
The payment will go directly to the the Embakasi Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $450 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Outstanding tuition balance: $340
• Textbooks and materials: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

How is Hellen doing now?
sending good thoughts, Hellen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
