I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Arusha University, and I'm one term 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 $600. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $130 • Final term tuition: $410 • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Textbooks and materials: $15 Every share and every dollar helps. - Okello

  • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Arusha

    • Thank you. If you're in Arusha I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

    • Wishing you peace, Okello. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
