[…] Early January 2020, after a week’s stay in Gulu for a trade show business where me and my younger sister sold soft drinks in an attempt to expand the little money we had, I received another call on my way from Gulu to Lira. And this time around calling me for a training with CPAR Uganda in Lira. First day is not always easy. I was really scared, because I realized I was the youngest and mixing with others was not easy, but I over came finally. The training was about understanding poverty in rural Uganda. After 21 days, I was awarded certificate of completion. […]

Hello CPAR, Good after noon. I am Stephen Ninsiima and I finished senior six in 2015 I scored three principles with eleven points in ; Biology-D, Chemistry-D mathematics-D as shown on attached transcript. Since then I lacked tution because I have a single parent (mum) but I still have dreams.I have tried loan scheme but I was not successful, I also went ahead and appealed for loan scheme all in vain. Since childhood I have studied on fees from sponsors, who were impressed by my performance before it was affected by long periods of sicknesses during both studies and UNEB time. I have grown with a dream to be a surgeon so that I can be part of the health team in improving health lives of people in Uganda, Africa and beyond. When I was in senior three, I identified a need in our health sector; many heart patients need to first go abroad usually India to get treatment ,so I developed a new dream: to be a CARDIOLOGIST , I have lived with this dream and I still have it,but has no tution. I there fore humbly request you to pay for me tution for bachelors, or to connect me where I can explain my situation, so that I achieve that dream and serve. Thank you so much.

Mr. Ninsiima, while CPAR Uganda appreciates your challenges, please note that CPAR Uganda does not have a scholarship fund for paying school fees. We have a mentoring programme for which we offer young adults scholarships in order to participate in our mentoring programme.
