Donation protected
(*Update - goal has been reached and Rodger has graduated on 24.2.2023. Thank you all for the heartwarming support!) The goal of this campaign is to raise funds for Rodger Ng’Ona’s university tuition fees. Rodger is about to begin his second semester at University of Livingstonia in Malawi if the family can find a way to finance his studies further. Any help to support Rodger fulfil his dream to be a social worker will be greatly appreciated by him and his family.


Dad, mom Rodger & his brothers

Rodger, 20, is the oldest child of Kamoza & Christina Ng’Ona. They run a small plantation in Rumphi, Malawi. Rodger has 5 siblings and he is the first in his family to go to university. Kamoza being a farmer with 6 children, uncertain crops and a recent incident that collapsed his drilled well used to irrigate his crops and livestock is facing the task of financing his son’s education overwhelming. The family has applied for a government backed student loan but has unfortunately not been granted one.

Malawi is currently the 6th poorest country in the world according to Wikipedia statistics. The GDI per capita in the country is 1180 USD, the equivalent of approximately 1080 Euro.

Chores on the farm

The family is now trying to raise 3000 Euros to help cover for Rodger’s tuition fees for the remaining 4 years. Current fee of the university per semester is 585 000 Malawi Kwacha, which amounts to little over 720€. As Rodger has no phone, computer or other aids, he will be ever grateful for any donations that can be used to enable and benefit his studies.

Rodger has passed all the courses of his first three semesters and is going to study very hard given the opportunity. His dream is to finish his social studies and development education programme and become a social worker for an NGO. He hopes to help make Malawi a better place for the future generations and to help his little siblings with their education.

As the organiser I'm helping Rodger to set up and manage this campaign. The financial infrastructure in Malawi does not yet enable these type of fundraisers. Why am I giving a hand to Rodger of all the people in the world? Well, I have been his dad's pen pal since the 5th grade of elementary school, almost 30 years now.
