One semester away: help Muthoni graduate from Kikuyu University
A first-generation student, Muthoni needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇰🇪 Kikuyu, Kiambu, Kenya717 views
Muthoni is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Kikuyu University, and is one term 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 $700.
The registrar has said Muthoni can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Muthoni has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Muthoni would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Muthoni isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $270
• Final term tuition: $350
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Muthoni?
Thank you. If you're in Kikuyu I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Grenoble but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal.
sending strength. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you and your family, Imani. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
