One semester away: help Irene graduate from Jinja State College
A first-generation student, Irene needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇬 Uganda770 views
Irene is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Jinja State College, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $200.
The registrar has said Irene can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Irene has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Irene would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Irene isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Jinja State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $160
• Textbooks and materials: $35
• Exam and lab fees: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Wekesa. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
keep going. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jinja!
Thank you. If you're in Jinja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal.
any update on how things are going in Jinja?
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Riyadh this morning.
