One semester away: help Sarah graduate from Dar es Salaam State College
A first-generation student, Sarah needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania970 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Dar es Salaam 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 $700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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.
The payment will go directly to the Dar es Salaam State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $160
• Final term tuition: $490
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cali.
Praying for you, Sarah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Buffalo this morning.
