Donate to help Mbuso complete his medical degree

Hi my name is Ellen, I visited Amizizi a rural village at the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa in 2021. Amizizi is a remote village with very limited resources. I have remained in contact with members of the community to support their ventures in tourism, childcare, and education. Mbuso grew up in Amizizi, completing his schooling there. Last year Mbuso relocated to study at Limpopo University. He is in his second year of medical school and needs your help to be able to complete his education. Mbuso has four more years of study until he graduates. Please donate so that Mbuso can finish his studies and return to his village to support his community’s health. Please read the below letter from Mbuso.

My name is Mbuso Khumalo. I was born on the 1st of August, 2004 in Bergville, South Africa. I am a student at the University of Limpopo, in the School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical Sciences unit.

The driving force in my life is the desire to bring about adequate accessibility to medical facilities, both for privileged and underprivileged people. The most probable tactic to accomplish this desire was to get enrolled for a medical degree myself. It has always been my passion to make a veritable difference in people's lives by assisting to ease pain and suffering.

Currently, I am doing a 2nd-year level in this respected profession. Completion of this profession takes a long time, and it requires enormous amounts of funds due to the resources in use. The first step to handling the funding was to get assistance from the national student financial scheme of South Africa (NSFAS). It covers tuition fees and accommodation however I require support for living allowance (groceries, phone, student card etc.) this totals R 85,000 (AUD $7500)

I humbly request full sponsorship to pursue this life-long journey. A helping hand has the prospect of bringing transformative change in the doctor-to-patient ratio in South Africa. Clinical Science has the potential of enhancing the quality of life itself. Diagnosis and treatment of communicable and infectious diseases can be more efficient by increasing the number of health professionals.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
