Tumusiime's final semester of a computer science degree in Mombasa
Tumusiime has worked and saved for four years to study a computer science degree; a $900 gap now stands between him and graduation.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Kenya1,812 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Mombasa Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $900.
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 faculty supervisor 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 Mombasa Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $900 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $50
• Outstanding tuition balance: $530
• Final term tuition: $320
I hope life is good to you.

keep going, Tumusiime. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you, Tumusiime. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mombasa.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tumusiime.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. textbooks and materials is the biggest at $50. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Tumusiime. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Venice so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Tumusiime. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
