Hello, my name is Neida Mbuia Joao and I am soon to be matriculating at the prestigious University of Edinburgh to further my education. I intend to study the history of slavery, drawing a novel connection between the illegal slave trade in Mozambique and Brazil. I am seeking support in order to pay for some of the costs that come along with attending a graduate program abroad.
The intention of this fundraiser is to fill the gap that student loans and scholarships were not able to.
The money donated will be used to cover the following costs associated with my program but not directly covered by my financial aid package:
- Recouping the costs of my flight to Mozambique for an initial research trip
- Flight to Edinburgh
- Interim housing until I am able to secure a flat in Edinburgh
- Passport renewal costs
- Visa and international healthcare surcharge
- Purchasing PPE for travel as an immunocompromised person
Donations made above the goal amount will be used on day-to-day expenses (like feeding myself) while working on my graduate degree.
Any amount that you are able to donate will be endlessly appreciated. If you're unable to contribute, sharing this with friends and family will go very far in helping support me as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
