Help me continue my studies

Success, to me, looks like transforming the lives of the people around me, Africa and the world at large through innovative engineering solutions that are sustainable and accelerate the state of technological advancement.

Hie, my name is Claypaul Shibalabala and I am a B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering, student at the University of Johannesburg(UJ). I started my studies in 2019,hoping to complete my studies in 2022 and I am raising funds on account that I have outstanding fees hinder me from registering for my second year of studies and hence I was unable to continue my studies since 2020.

Despite the fact that I have been living in South Africa since October 2005 and SA has become another home, acquiring the funding that is necessary to finance my studies is still quite difficult and if I might say close to impossible if you're an international student(Zambian) using a study visa. Therefore my efforts to apply for bursaries and any other funding opportunities have been unsuccessful, and so have my efforts to work to pay off my debt. Nevertheless I remain adamant that I CAN and WILL acquire my degree no matter what or how long it takes and I need YOUR help to achieve this goal, hence I have started this campaign...

Help me raise R50 000 to register for my second year studies, if possible, this very year in 2021(during February). This money is just enough to settle my outstanding debt of 2019 and cover the 30% that is required, of all International students before registration, by the University of Johannesburg. Practically this will help me register and continue my studies! I intend to pay for the rest of the fees using other means. If you would love to support me by donating to this campaign, don't hesitate to do so.

To conclude, I want to say, this degree is not the ultimate goal but a major step that will help me realise my dreams of leaving a mark on this planet through my God-given abilities and the knowledge acquired through my formal education. Therefore it's of immense importance! To deposit directly into my student account, please use my student no. 218081774 and the following link to the university account details: https://www.uj.ac.za/studyatUJ/Student-Finance/Pag...

To you who support this campaign whether it's by spreading the word or donating, THANK YOU in advance and God bless.
