Daniel Niyonshuti is a wonderful person who is struggling to pay for his Nursing degree at the University of Rwanda. Daniel lost his parents in the Rwandan genocide in 1994 and spend his entire childhood on the streets, sleeping under bridges, begging and feeding on scraps he found in the trash. Aid workers helped him start school and since then he has worked very hard on getting his education and pursuing his dream of becoming a doctor through his dedicated work and strong faith in God.
Daniel was accepted into the University of Rwanda’s Nursing program and thanks to generous donations, was able to pay for his registration fees and first semester tuition and start his first semester there. He has never been more excited to be in school and study to be a doctor. However, he is due to pay the second installment of his tuition soon and he is finding himself short of about $280 (200,000 Rwandan francs) to cover the installment and room and board. Please, donate to his fundraising campaign (run under my name because gofundme requires the funds to go to an American account - i send them to him via WesternUnion after) here:

The goal is set at $3,100 in order to help him cover his expenses for all three eyars of his program (estimated to be 600,000 francs tuition + varying sums for room and board and other expenses).
On the fundraising page is Daniel’s recount of his struggle to get to where he is. The page also has a video of him, to further prove the legitimacy of the campaign. Here is a picture of Daniel’s acceptance letter and some pictures of him in university:
