Naivasha
Ruth is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Naivasha Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $250. The registrar has said Ruth can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ruth has a first-class 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 Ruth would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Ruth isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Naivasha Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $250 goes: β€’ Outstanding tuition balance: $170 β€’ Exam and lab fees: $25 β€’ Textbooks and materials: $55 Glad we found this place. - Collins

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ruth

    • Collins MusyokaOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($170) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Collins. Study hard!

    • How is Ruth doing now?

      • Hope things get better soon, Collins. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • is there anything that isn't money that would help Ruth?

          • Collins MusyokaOwnerAnswer

            Thank you. If you're in Naivasha I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

        • take care, Collins. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Kolkata.

          • Hope it all works out. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings

            • has the balance statement been checked by the HelpBLESS team?

              • You're not alone, Collins. Shared it with a few friends. God bless

                • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Naivasha.

                    So sorry you're going through this. 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.

                    • Sending strength, Collins. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 9 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
