Sponsor a Student

All of our students are extraordinary and have overcome a lot in their education journey. While we’d like to tell all of their stories, let’s start with some stories selected especially for you.

Samuel

University Co-sponsorship




Samuel is a young man who has faced adversity head-on and emerged stronger. The 2007/2008 post-election violence in Kenya changed his life forever, as he and his siblings were forced out of their home. Luckily, Samuel and his siblings moved in with their grandmother. She is in her eighties and lacks the strength to meet her young grandchildren’s needs. She sells vegetables in the local market, but her advanced age limits her ability to make the most of her trade.

Despite these hurdles, Samuel has remained committed to his education, embodying his mantra, “Education is life itself.” His remarkable B+ in his high school exit exam in 2022 secured him a spot to join the university, attesting to his hard work and dedication. He’s in his second year pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Analytical Chemistry at the University of Nairobi.

Throughout his life, Samuel has demonstrated resilience, determination, and kindness. Taking on the responsibilities of caring for his siblings and elderly grandmother, he has maintained an optimistic and driven spirit, becoming a role model to his siblings, who look up to him for inspiration and guidance.

Samuel’s ultimate goal is to use his education to improve the lives of his family and community. He believes education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for himself and everyone around him. With the right support, Samuel is poised to achieve great things, and as a co-sponsor, you would be investing in a young man with boundless potential and a heart full of gratitude.

Will you co-sponsor Samuel’s education and help him break the chain of poverty in his family?

About this Sponsorship

Co-sponsoring Samuel’s university education is $1080 a year, or $90 per month. This amount, in addition to what another sponsor will put in, will cover the student’s tuition fees, monthly upkeep, accommodation, and medical care.

The Sponsor Experience

  • Cassie and Elijah

    “When we signed up to sponsor our students, we hoped it would help improve their lives. What we didn’t expect was how it would change ours.

    Our students have become our teachers about life, gratitude, optimism, and finding joy in each moment. Supporting an education is a direct investment into these students and their future. Through a sponsorship with Moja Tu, you have the opportunity to create a meaningful relationship with a student that will change not only their life, but yours as well.”
