Overview

I’m a good student at Fourah College in my second year - pursuing a diploma in Gender and Development Studies. My parents and four younger siblings live in a remote village. My impoverished family is unable to pay for my school fees. I have not been able to secure any scholarships or college loans. I am currently living with my uncle - sleeping on an uncomfortable couch.

I want to become a gender activist. I want to uplift girls and women in my community. I also want to help lift my family out of poverty.

I need help paying for my college tuition, transportation to campus, meals, and a mattress (so I can sleep and rest well). I also need a cell phone and a laptop to aid my studies and prepare papers/presentations. This would make a huge difference in my life right now.

With my tuition paid, I can continue my education. This will help me to finish my degree and become a gender activist. The other items will help me succeed and advance along.
