One semester away: help Namukasa graduate from Nairobi State College
A first-generation student, Namukasa needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
Anywhere in the world2,144 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Nairobi State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,200.
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 academic advisor 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 $1,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $550
• Final term tuition: $550
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Textbooks and materials: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Namukasa. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Namukasa.
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $550. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Faisalabad.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
