Lilian has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in social work; a $900 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Eldoret
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Eldoret 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 $900. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 Eldoret Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $480 • Final term tuition: $350 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $40 With deep gratitude, Lilian

Updates from Lilian

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($243 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 21% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward final term tuition. More news soon.

      Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Rohini.

      • Marie Meunier

        Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
