Scholarship
I am a 300 level student in the University of Lagos studying Computer Engineering and I have a strong passion for embedded systems and Internet of Things. I am currently on a CGPA of 4.87 because of my dedication and consistency in achieving academic excellence and this places me as the best student in my department currently. I am determined to maintain this academic feat and this is one of the reasons why I deserve the support. My goal since I entered the University of Lagos has been to finish as the best student in my department and I am consistently working towards it. Secondly, I am passionate about contributing to my community. Since my second year as an undergraduate, I have organized tutorials before examinations so as to assists my peers in difficult courses we offer. It has been demanding but I know that making people within my reach happy is fulfilling. Having the passion to serve my community, one of my goals this year is to serve as the Welfare secretary of my department and this is with the intention of promoting academic excellence in the department and organize seminars that help students discover and align with their areas of interest.Also, I should be given this support because of my intention to guide younger students in 200 level on the importance of academic excellence and how they can set themselves apart for scholarship opportunities. I want people not to lose interest in applying for scholarships just because of many past rejections. This is to create a culture of excellence and resilience among present students.I should also be given this support because of my plans to achieve my long term goals. I plan to develop intelligent systems that improves efficiency in the healthcare sector. Working on real-world solutions by building prototypes rather than just simulations can make this possible. Part of the scholarship, will be used to get myself resources such as an Arduino kit and an ESP32 microcontroller to accelerate my journey into embedded systems. In my recent project which I simulated, I designed an automatic traffic light system which adjusts based on real-time number of vehicles on each lane. With access to resources, I would have built a prototype and test it in real world scenarios.This scholarship will be more than just financial support but a form of motivation to keep striving to be the best I can be with the mindset that the fundraiser is investing in my potentials. I will ensure I continue with the strive for excellence, continue to engage in community service and ensure I continue to build on my technical skills and soft skills so as to achieve my long term goals and create impact as a future leader.

Academic Fundraising Appeal
My name is Hannatu Sati Ribah, a Registered Nurse currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH) in Health Promotion and Prevention Control at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria. My journey into public health began from my years of dedicated service as a Nursing Officer, I worked closely with patients from diverse backgrounds. Over time, I witnessed how preventable diseases and poor access to health information continue to affect individuals and families, especially in rural and underserved communities. These experiences deeply shaped me, this resolve to transition from curative care to preventive health practice where I can make a broader and more sustainable impact. Enrolling in the MPH program at the Ahmadu Bello University Distance learning program, one of Nigeria’s leading institutions for public health training, has been a defining step in my professional development. The program has exposed me to advanced concepts in epidemiology, health promotion, and disease prevention, as well as practical research and intervention design. Through my coursework and field experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of how community-based health programs can effectively reduce disease burden and improve quality of life. However, the financial aspect of this academic pursuit has been a major challenge. The school fees for both the first and second semesters were paid through borrowed funds, which I am still struggling to repay while managing my living and study expenses. Despite working diligently, my limited income cannot adequately cover repayment and the upcoming academic requirements, including tuition for the next sessions, research materials, and dissertation costs. I am therefore appealing for financial assistance or sponsorship to support the successful completion of my MPH degree. Your support will not only ease my financial burden but will also help me continue developing the skills and expertise needed to serve communities more effectively. Upon completion of this program, my goal is to contribute to public health policy, community health education, and preventive programs, particularly in rural areas where health awareness and access remain limited. I believe that strengthening prevention and health promotion efforts is the key to achieving lasting improvements in national health outcomes. Thank you for considering my request and for your potential support in helping me fulfill this mission of advancing public health and improving community well-being. The fee will go a long way in supporting me .
Help Tony Fund His Final Year ResearchProject
Millions of people in low- and middle-income countries suffer from brain disorders that can cause long-term disability. Early diagnosis is often missed, treatments are limited, and we still don’t fully understand how brain damage happens—leaving especially young people at risk.Cannabis use is rising, but its long-term effects on the brain in our communities are not well known. At the same time, Africa has many traditional medicinal plants that may offer protection, yet few have been studied scientifically. One of these is lemongrass (Cymbopogon), which could help protect the brain.This project will test whether lemongrass can reduce or prevent brain damage from cannabis, using Wistar rats and reliable lab methods. Funds will go directly to essential lab materials, experiments, and data collection. By supporting this research, you are helping generate knowledge that could improve brain health, make treatments more affordable, and explore the potential of traditional African medicine.
Walk with Sudan Campaign - Step by Step, Refuse to Look Away
Walk With Sudan: From a Personal Journey to a Collective MovementA walk that started alone is now becoming a movement.What started as a personal walk is now becoming something much bigger.I originally set out to walk the Camino to raise awareness and funds for Sudan — a quiet, personal response to a crisis that continues to unfold, often out of sight and out of mind.But along the way, something changed.Conversations turned into commitment.Interest turned into action.What began as one person’s walk is now becoming a community movement.That is why the PfAL community — students, alumni, mentors, and friends are coming together for the Walk With Sudan campaign: an act of solidarity, reflection, advocacy, and collective action — expressed not just in what we say, but in what we choose to do.Because when suffering becomes “someone else’s problem,” walking together reconnects us to Ubuntu — and to our shared humanity.Why Sudan — And Why NowSudan is facing one of the world’s most urgent humanitarian crises.Millions have been displaced.Families are struggling to access food, water, and healthcare.Entire communities are being pushed into survival mode.And yet, global attention is fading.Not because people don’t care but because the world is learning to look away.We scroll past the pain because it happens “somewhere else.”But for many of us, this isn’t somewhere else.It’s Africa.It’s Sudan.And our shared humanity runs deeper than borders.Over 13 million children are currently out of school due to conflict.This campaign is about refusing silence.Refusing distance.Refusing indifference.From Camino to CommunityThe Camino was never meant to be the destination.It was the spark.Walk With Sudan is now a student-led, community-driven initiative, bringing people together to take collective action.Because this shouldn’t be one person’s walk.It should be ours.A shared expression of Ubuntu: “I am because you are.”The Launch: Walk & Talk at LSEWe are launching this next chapter through a Walk & Talk event at LSE.A simple format:Walk in solidarityCreate space for honest conversationReflect, learn, and connectTurn awareness into actionThis is not just an event.It is a starting point — one we hope will spread across universities and communities.What This Campaign Is BuildingThis campaign goes beyond awareness.We are working to:Spotlight Sudan in spaces where it is being overlookedMobilise students and communities to act collectivelyRaise funds for trusted humanitarian and diaspora-led organisationsCreate a model that others can replicate globallyA Shared GoalTo turn this from a moment into a movement, we are working towards a collective target:£50,000 by 1 June 2026This is not just a number.It is what allows:Aid to reach communities fasterSupport to scale across multiple networksThis movement to begin with real, tangible impactEvery early contribution helps build that momentum.What Your Support Makes PossibleBeing part of this movement is about turning awareness into action.For some, that starts with showing up.For others, it means speaking out, sharing, or organising.And for many, it includes giving — so that solidarity is not only seen, but felt in real, tangible ways.This campaign supports organisations working both on the ground in Sudan and across the global Sudanese diaspora to deliver urgent humanitarian aid.Your contribution can help provide:£10 → Emergency meals or food support£25 → Access to clean drinking water£50 → Essential medical care and supplies£100+ → Sustained support across food, water, healthcare, and recoveryThrough partners like Sadagaat and the Sudan Benefit Fund (via the Sudanese Diaspora Network), your support helps deliver aid where it is needed most — quickly, directly, and through trusted community networks.In moments like this, awareness without action can only go so far.This is one way of making that action real.How You Can Walk With UsThere is no single way to be part of this.1. WalkJoin the Walk & Talk or organise one in your own community.2. GiveSupport urgent humanitarian efforts. Even small contributions move us closer to our shared goal.3. ShareAmplify Sudan’s story. Post, speak, reflect — or even map your walk on Strava so we can see this movement grow.4. BuildTake this idea to your university or network and make it your own.This isn’t just about fundraising.It’s about standing together.When we walk, we walk for every life affected.Our steps may feel small.But this movement is built on the belief that small, collective acts — when taken seriously — can interrupt silence, shift attention, and create real impact.Sometimes, they are the only response left against a world that has grown numb.A Simple Idea, Taken SeriouslyThis campaign is built on a simple belief:That even in the face of overwhelming crises,people can still choose to act.To walk.To speak.To show up.Walk With Sudan — A Call to Walk, Reflect, and Act💠 Walk in solidarity. Be present. Start conversations.💠 Share what you see and feel. Help make Sudan visible again.💠 Give what you can today. Help us reach our £50,000 goal.There is no single way to take part.What matters is that we do not remain passive.Sudan has been called the world’s forgotten crisis.Let’s prove the world wrong.Walk with us.Speak about it.Act on it.Step by step, we refuse to look away.Thank you for walking.Tosin AdebisiHead, Programme for African Leadership (PfAL)London School of EconomicsCampaign TeamYousra Abdelmoneim (Sudan)Ama Haroon-Nuna (Sudan)Musab El-shafie (Sudan)Alyaa Hassan (Sudan)Munira Aminu Bello (Nigeria)Eilidh Taylor (Botswana)Nadia Bawumia (Ghana)Dorothy N’tchougan-Sonou (Togo)Aisha Agboluaje (Nigeria)#PfalwalksforSudan #WalkWithSudan
