From the Streets to a Master's Degree

By Jenny Appleby | Project administrator

We are incredibly proud to share a phenomenal milestone that embodies the ultimate vision of our work. Raphael Assani, a young man who was once supported and successfully reintegrated by Kimbilio after living on the streets, is now a Master’s student in Social Sciences! Raphael’s journey proves that with the right support, the potential of street-connected children knows no bounds. He is transforming his past experiences into a future dedicated to understanding and improving society.

Reaching university is an incredible achievement, but staying there requires ongoing stability. For former street children, the cost of tuition, books, and living expenses can be an insurmountable barrier. Our Enable Former Street Children to Go to University project bridges this gap. The funds donated by you are vital to keeping this scholarship fund alive, ensuring that financial hurdles don't stop brilliant minds like Raphael from achieving their academic dreams.

We want to extend our deepest thanks for your ongoing support. Your generosity does not just provide an education, it fosters the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers. We look forward to supporting more determined students on their journey to higher education, made entirely possible by your belief in their future. Let's keep sending them to university!
