My name is Sijin. I never thought I would have to ask strangers for help, but today I find myself at a point where I truly need support to move forward.
In January, I received my admission offer to study Electrical and Computer Engineering at Constructor University in Germany. From that moment, I worked quietly and tirelessly on my own. I applied to every scholarship and funding opportunity I could find because I wanted to achieve this dream through my own effort without asking for public support.
Some efforts brought results. Many did not. Yet I continued pushing forward with determination.
Today, the total cost of my program is €28,696. Through hard work and the limited support I have received so far, I have managed to secure €13,696. What remains is €15,000. This is the final gap standing between me and beginning my studies. With enrollment approaching quickly, I cannot afford to let this opportunity slip away.
I come from South Sudan, where unreliable communication is often more than just an inconvenience. I have witnessed families unable to reach help during emergencies simply because there was no signal. In those critical moments, the absence of connection can mean the difference between safety and tragedy. These experiences deeply shaped my path.
That is why I chose to study Electrical and Computer Engineering. I want to gain the knowledge and skills needed to help build reliable communication systems that bring safety, access, and hope to underserved communities like my own.
This degree represents far more than education to me. It is the bridge to creating meaningful change back home and in similar regions around the world.
I am now respectfully asking for your help to close this final €15,000 gap. Every single contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to starting this important journey.
If you can donate, it would mean the world to me. Even a small amount can make a real difference. If you cannot donate right now, sharing this story would also be incredibly valuable. It may reach someone who is in a position to help.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and support would not only change my future but could one day help bring connection and safety to many others who need it most.
This is the final step between years of preparation and turning my dream into reality. With your help, it becomes possible.
