Edwin is a young man from the Mwanza community who is striving to get ahead. His academic and personal qualities were so good that he was sent to study at Mombasa Medical College.
However, this was only possible because he had a sponsor who provided the necessary financial support. From elementary school onwards, all pupils and students have to pay for their own education or find someone to support them. We still need your support for the last semester. Although one person has already stepped in, Edwin needs several sponsors to raise the sum of approximately 7,200 euros per year.

Edwin's goal is to return to his community after completing his studies and gaining some practical experience in the city, and to work there as a doctor. Too many people die because there is no medical care whatsoever. Edwin wants to put an end to this situation after completing his training.
