<div>My name is John Mputu, and I am a circus artist from Zambia. Since 2016, I have dedicated myself to circus arts, training in acrobatics, hand balancing, and aerial rope with <a href="https://www.circuszambia.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Circus Zambia</a>. Growing up in Chibolya, a community often associated with poverty and crime, circus became more than a passion—it became a path to hope, discipline, and a better future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many years, I dreamed of attending a professional circus school and performing on the global stage. Today, that dream is becoming a reality. I have been accepted into the BA (Hons) Circus Arts programme at the National Centre for Circus Arts in London, one of the world’s leading circus schools. I was also awarded a 50% Overseas Bursary, reducing my tuition fees and recognizing my potential as an artist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am now raising funds to cover the remaining costs of my first year of study. The funds will be used as follows:
</div>
<div>• Tuition fees: £9,250
</div>
<div>• Student visa: £558
</div>
<div>• Immigration Health Surcharge: £776
</div>
<div>• Flight from Zambia to London: £1,000
</div>
<div>• Accommodation deposit: £1,000
</div>
<div>• Living expenses: £13,761
</div>
<div>• Study and circus materials: £600
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Total fundraising goal: £26,945
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will be managed through a trusted friend in the Netherlands and used exclusively for my education and living expenses while studying in London.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to this life-changing opportunity. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in my journey and helping me turn a lifelong dream into reality.
