BACKGROUND
I’m Kerumboti Lukumay. I’m the third born out of eight children in my family. My father has two wives, so it is a polygamy family where the younger wife has five children. I grew up in the Arusha region where I used to help my parents to take care of the cattle and cultivating crops like maize and beans. After primary school, I was selected to join a local government school, but my parents couldn’t pay for my studies because there was two of us in the family that was selected to the secondary school and our economic situation wasn’t good enough. Luckily, I got a sponsorship for my secondary education from a school called The School of St Jude, which provides free education to children from disadvantaged families in Arusha. Currently I’m at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College studying doctor of medicine.
WHY Medicine & Health
My dream job is to become a dermatologist, a specialist in skin diseases. I have chosen to study medicine so I can help the Tanzanian community. My aim with becoming a dermatologist is to help the government and individuals in providing education to the society about albinism, chronic skin diseases and eradicate bad myths and negative perceptions that is prevailing in some African communities, particularly in Tanzania about albinism.
INTERESTS
Besides my studies, I like to sing in a choir and visit orphanage centres in my area. I also like to watch and play football.

Our community outreach activity was about teaching children about their rights and responsibilities at one of the orphanage center in Moshi municipal. In today's society there are many cases of child abuse and violation of their rights thus it's imperative to make them aware as one way of combating such violence.

A: Kerumboti Lukumay has applied for a scholarship from Help to Help and was granted one. We have reviewed the written application and conducted a thorough interview with Kerumboti Lukumay .

A: Each semester, Help to Help pay school fees for our students. We reserve the right to only pay school fees for students who live up to the agreed terms and conditions for the scholarship which includes submitting grades in time, good academic perform and continuous communication with Help to Help among other things. The payments are done directly to each university. Once payments are done, we demand the universities to send us official receipts.

Q: Why does each student have their own fundraising profile?

A: We believe in a global "we" - our crowdfunding platform is a way for our students to express what societal issues they want to bring change to, and a way for our funders to learn and join their important causes by donating to their studies.
