Motivation:

Hi, I’m Wandile, a third-year BCom Informatics student at the University of Pretoria, funded by NSFAS. My laptop broke in 2nd year. I managed to buy a small, old Packard Bell with my own savings—but now it struggles with essential software. Because of this, I failed a core module and now have to add an extra year to my degree. This isn’t just about me. I’m the first in my family to attend university—my two older brothers didn’t make it—and my success would show my two younger brothers that it’s possible. All I need is a functional laptop to complete my studies, gain the skills to become a Data Engineer, and finally graduate. I’ve already laid out a clear plan and worked hard to stay on course. Any contribution helps directly—or you can share this fundraiser with others who believe in education and breaking new ground. Thank you so much. 🙏 Wandile Maphanga, UP – BCom Informatics, 3rd Year (NSFAS)
