Jepkoech is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at Nairobi University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $600. The registrar has said Jepkoech can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Jepkoech has a first-class average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Jepkoech would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Jepkoech isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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: • Final term tuition: $300 • Outstanding tuition balance: $270 • Exam and lab fees: $30 Thank you for reading my story. - Joseph

Updates from Joseph

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($57 in total) the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 10% thanks to 2 of you. the plan for exam and lab fees is now scheduled. More news soon.

  3. Update from Nairobi: I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
