Support Dorcas Masters of Education

I am Rev Ezekiel Sang pastor in the Reformed church of East Africa. I am helping my wife fundraise for her studies. Here what she says

My name is Dorcas Koech, I'm 38 years of age, and I live on the Eldoret Kenya. As of September 2023, I've been made a conditional offer to undertake Master's Thesis in education at the University of Melbourne Australia . As an aspiring linguistics and Kiswahili Teacher this is a huge opportunity for me to progress and achieve my dream. This offer will mean so much for my future career and my life to be able to secure a Master's degree from this prestigious university.

However, one of the conditions of my offer stipulates that I must demonstrate I am able to afford the costs of tuition and living at Australia for 1 year. While I have worked in various jobs and saved for years, my life savings of at the moment still do not suffice. My chances for earning full-time money were also cut short in 2020 as an English teacher in Kenya by both the pandemic and inflation.

It was during the hectic and uncertain time of late 2022 and early 2023 that I had what little presence of mind, energy and time during working full-time in Kenya to construct a thesis proposal and application for several universities. While I had thought I had submitted my application in time to be considered for scholarships, I found out there no funding for education I submitted my application and was offered a position at Melbourne. The offer conditions of expected expenses for my year.

$71,371.35 AUD. As this is $21,1371 greater than my life savings, I am asking for help now to reach this minimum in 3 months before the term begins on October 1st.

As my entire life savings will be wiped and both my family and I will be left in financial ruin if left to come up with this money alone, I will be very grateful if anyone could help us reach this goal with however little they could give.

With your support would mean the world to me and my family, and I would be eternally grateful for any donations to help.
