Okello is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Nairobi State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,000.
The registrar has said Okello can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Okello has a distinction average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Okello would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Okello isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Nairobi State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Final term tuition: $490
• Outstanding tuition balance: $475
Thank you so much.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Barranquilla.
Hope things get better soon, Wekesa. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Nijmegen so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts, Wekesa. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted.
