Donate to Muhammad Mubiru
BACKGROUND
My father is Mubiru Siraje and my mother is Nankya Saidat. They are residents of the Ntolomwe village in the Butambala district. I have six siblings of which three are girls and three are boys. I am the second born in my family with an elder brother, a sister in secondary school, a brother in primary seven and others in primary. My parents are both peasant farmers. We grow crops for home consumption and sell the surplus for accommodation.
I have studied in public schools and got a partial school bursary at advanced level. After passing my "A" level I joined Mbarara University of Science and Technology.
WHY Medicine & Health
I grew up in a village where people died or their conditions worsened because of polypharmacy. People also died because they had no money to pay for the drugs in public hospitals. Because of this I promised myself to study pharmacy so that I can prevent such things from happening by extending my services to the people in need and in the villages. Also I see doing pharmacy as way of getting a job where I can get some money and look after my little sisters and brothers so that they can also get a chance to finish studies. My dream job is to become a hospital pharmacist and upgrade to become a lecturer so I can teach students to become pharmacists. I want people to know we will be there when they have grown old. As a pharmacist I want to discover new drugs that can help treat diseases as drug resistance is so prevailing. I also want to be in a hospital pharmacy to play a role in proper drug use and management.
INTERESTS
I love making research by reading both online and offline books, playing football, watching movies and making friends.

I decided to prune my mom’s groundnuts. I love it when I am doing something that make someone happy and I love it to see my mom happy when her work is done well as she can no longer dig. The activity I was doing in that picture is now a great achievement because I have at least relieved her from straining to work in this lockdown.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How can I trust Muhammad Mubiru is a real student?
A: Muhammad Mubiru has applied for a scholarship from Help to Help and was granted one. We have reviewed the written application, interviewed Muhammad Mubiru via Skype. We have also double-checked the given identity with Mbarara University. We now and then also do home-visits, and met with a clear majority of our students.
Q: If I donate, what happens with my donation?
A: Each semester, Help to Help pays school fees for our students. We reserve the right to only pay school fees for our students who submit their grades and receipts in time, who perform well in school with at least an avarage grade of B. The payment is done straight to each university. We demand each student to bring the official receipt from the administration office.
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.
