Not all of us lived an insured life in our countries but we all had access to check ups to make sure we were fully okay before coming here, but since we started eating the food at the residence we started experiencing health issues we never encountered in our whole life, the water started giving us reactions, the cockroaches and rats in the residents have been eating our clothes even after 2 times of fumigation by a pest control company

To help cover living expenses in Kigali: as donors, you all know the cost of living in Kigali and as we mentioned in our different essays, our families had a huge relief when we got here because they know our burden is not on their head anymore. Accommodation is a major contribution and so is food but this is not all we need to sustain ourselves, since we got here we have been given toiletries only once so just put yourself in a lady’s shoe and try to understand the struggles she is going through and also take it from a man point of view. As part of our contract, we understood that transportation will be covered so my question is what are they doing with that money after the university’s decision? Nevertheless, that’s not what we are asking for but please consider that too.

Without a doubt, the scholarship has provided me with many opportunities to excel and discover my full potential. It's incredibly reassuring to know that you're covered and have a free place to sleep and eat.

Before signing the contract, we understood that we were not suppose to receive stipends because of the services offered. But some of the services are not paying us well especially the meal plan. We are not asking for a change of meal plan or cancellation of it, we are not asking for a stipend because that will be a breach of contract but please consider the living expenses in Kigali and help us with emmergency fund for living expenses.
We are begging you as parents please life has been difficult since we got here
